## Package com.google.appengine.api.prospectivesearch.dev Description

# Implementation Notes

- Matching entity properties with string values is done with substring matching, not against tokens.
- Numeric limits in the public API that are specified as long are truncated to int. E.g. in the listTopics method.

## Python language diffs

- Empty queries invalid; python accepts.
- Curly braces as grouping operator are not supported; python accepts.
- Unbalanced quotes considered invalid; python accepts. Quotes treated as term breaks. python considers part of word when inline with other characters.
- Number ranges require whitespace around elipsis; python does not.
