I have used Whoosh with appengine in one of my recent project and it seems to work fine. Have a look at https://github.com/tallstreet/Whoosh-AppEngine

As recently as last summer, people had been saying Whoosh didn’t work on App Engine. It’s all groovy now? – Alan H. Nov 09 '10 at 22:47

GAE has announced plans to offer full-text searching natively in the Datastore soon.
