Hi Mark

This seems to be a bug in Sphinx as far as I can tell (happens with  
the command line tool as well as Thinking Sphinx/Riddle). I'm not sure  
if there's cleaner solutions out there, but something that I just  
described for another email on this list is to add a manual field so  
there's a word that appears in every result:

   indexes "'sphinxisbuggy'", :as => :catch_all
   # ...
   Job.search "sphinxisbuggy", :conditions => {:location => '-"San  
Francisco CA"'}

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
