Thanks @xushengun

The following works for me:

>>> import pandas as pd                                                                                     
>>> store = pd.HDFStore('store.h5')                                                                         
>>> df = pd.DataFrame([1], index=['HolyMoly'])
>>> store.append('df', df)
>>> string = "HolyMoly" 
>>> store.select('df', 'index == string')
          0
HolyMoly  1

Seems that there's a typo in the user guide:

string = "HolyMoly'"

instead of

string = "HolyMoly"

, are you interested in submitting a pull request to fix it?

Seems that there's a typo in the user guide:

closing there's no reproducible example, and as it turns out this was intentional
