Hi Mike

Would be happy to help, but your gist has been deleted. Care to send us another link?

After it works I'll upload a public Thinking Sphinx test app with credits to anyone that can help me get this working, it will help me a ton and anyone else looking for more complex TS examples.

Sorry for the deletion, I thought it looked a little jumbled mess and figured it would he easier to build the test app and just put the repo up before asking the question hehe. I'll repost when I have it up =)

Also my search condition was so long and not structured that great. I just posted a new topic with my current Name, Tag and Skill/Category search method. I think it can be changed to have skill indexed with the Person/Group, instead of indexing the Skill model and the SharingSkill model, than I can add it into the single search option instead of chaining searches down the page as I had previously done. Once I figure out that issue, it will probably be easier to figure out the other search filters on attributes by declaring each one as filters{} using the :with => filters call on my search.

actually the filtering was much easier than I thought. I made a variable called order_by and can just pass parameters to it from each filter button.
