When you have SELECT * FROM table WHERE condition, the condition is
always local, i.e. it is applied to each individual record. The check
one record is independent on the check on other records. Therefore I
believe LIKE, OR, IN, etc should scale on GAE as well as AND,=,<,>. I
hope we will see them soon.
