Thank you James for your quick answer on a Sunday.
You have asked the right question : try running the indexer.

I feel totally stupid, but I glad I asked the question.
The only problem was that I had only installed Thinking Sphinx and not

Installation done, the app works like a charm.

Thank you very much.
