Does the GAE Search API support partial or prefix

Question

The Google App Engine Search API docs are a little light on the subject of partial or prefix searches. I understand that stemming is supported, but that's not quite what I want.

There are several other SO questions around this topic here, here and here. It seems like partial-text search has been requested a number of times over several years.

Am I missing something in the GAE docs or is this still not supported?

Thanks for the sanity check!

Answer 1

This (more recent) 'acknowledged' issue would seem to confirm that partial searches are still not supported.

Perhaps running ElasticSearch on Google Compute Engine might work for your use case?
