Possibly it works better with something like

define_index do
  indexes "(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(s.name SEPARATOR ' ') FROM assets AS
a", :as => 'state_classification'
  where "LEFT OUTER JOIN ... all the rest"
end

Have a look in the config/<environment>.sphinx.conf file that Thinking
Sphinx generates when you run the rake tasks. That will show the full
SQL query used.
