Hi Bill
Just wondering - what match mode are you using? Perhaps it only works
in extended mode - from the documentation it seems quite clear that no
weighting happens for boolean mode, but not sure about the others:
http://www.sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-0.9.8.html#weighting
so:
Item.search "bizarre", :match_mode => :extended, :field_weights => {
"title" => 100,
"tag_names" => 1
}
