Same thing -- set_property has no affect on the search results.
Just updated to the trunk version of TS and am continuing to get no
difference from field_weights.
HMM.
I looked into the riddle code, and as best I can tell, it looks like
it's trying to pass the field weights to Sphinx. When I do a query
like Item.search("bizarre", :field_weights => { :title =>
1, :tag_names => 20 }). I've gone into the
Riddle::Client#query_message and I can see the message includes the
string "field_weights" (though the value of field weights appears to
be a bunch of binary code.
It seems like a reasonable first step in debugging might be to
separate the TS from Sphinx itself? Is there a way I can communicate
with Sphinx with little/no intervention from TS? The problem feels
like Sphinx might be ignoring my field weights...?
Thanks again,
Bill
