Here is my actual controller, it iterates perfectly on a web2py
server, but as soon as upload the exact same files to GAE it doesn't
iterate.
***********************
def livesearch():
'''Auto completes the search query'''
partialstr = request.vars.partialstr
query = db.listing.title.like('%'+partialstr+'%')
titles = db(query).select(db.listing.ALL)
items = []
for title in titles:
items.append(DIV(A(title.title, _id="livesearch_item",
_href=URL('search', args=title.title.replace(' ','-')))))
return TAG[''](*items)
***********************
I just realised I'm getting this error on GAE:
def LIKE(self,first,second): raise SyntaxError, "Not supported"
SyntaxError: Not supported
Does like() not work on GAE? How do I fix this? It works fine on the
web2py server.
