Implementing a wildcard search in Google App Engine/Java

Question

I'm trying to implement a basic 'search' system across multiple entities. I know that there is no like operator support in GQL, but that leaves with the problem of an efficient, straightforward way of performing searches across my entities.

What is the idiomatic way of performing such searches in Google App Engine/Java ?
