Is there any maximum query length in TS?

[Sam]

I have pretty big queries (about 7000 symbols)

When I'm searching using sphinx cli tool - I'm getting some results

$ search -c config/development.sphinx.conf -i commodity_core --any query

using config file 'config/development.sphinx.conf'...

index 'commodity_core': query '': returned 1000 matches of 1225141 total in 0.058 sec

When I'm searching, using TS or riddle - I'm getting nothing.

>> Commodity.search(kw, :match_mode => :any)

/Users/Sam/prj/gdeslon/vendor/gems/thinking-sphinx-1.3.16/lib/thinking_sphinx/search.rb:268

Hi Sam

The search CLI tool isn't always the best way of checking these things - it doesn't use the Sphinx daemon (it works when Sphinx isn't running), so I think it reads the index files itself.

And given the query doesn't work with Riddle, it's not a Thinking Sphinx issue, but a limitation in Sphinx itself (hence the warning in the response from Riddle). Not sure why it's talking about quorum though, if you're using the :any match mode - are there any quorum operators in your query? They're quoted words followed by a backslash and number:
"foo bar baz"/2

Right, I've removed all chars except alphabetical and all quorum mentions have disappeared.

But still no matches if query is longer that 450-550 chars.

When testing via Riddle, are there any warnings or errors?

sorry, haven't noticed that. Riddle says:

:warning=>"too many words (1026) for quorum; replacing with an AND"

Why too many? How to fix it?

[Sam]

Why sphinx is talking about quorum at all?

I'm in match_mode = :any

Hi Sam

Not sure why Sphinx is talking about quorum - could be a question to ask on the Sphinx forum. Probably the best place to ask why the query isn't working as well - as it's definitely an issue with Sphinx itself.
