Yes, in fact my example was overly simple. Currently I only use this
on numbers in multi attributes. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, :with expects a hash, but if you give it an array it works too,
because of the way the Riddle filters are created in search.rb.
If you have this:
Tree.search 'sapling', :with => [['variety', [1, 2]], ['variety',
[3]]]
The filters are generated here:
client.filters += options[:with].collect { |attr,val|
Riddle::Client::Filter.new attr.to_s, filter_value(val)
} if options[:with]
And this will generate two riddle filters on the attribute 'variety',
one with the filter value of [1,2] and one with the filter value of
[3]. This creates a query where both filters must match for all the
documents returned. If you pass a hash, then you can only have one
filter on variety, because it must be a unique key.
I guess this behavior was unintentional on your part, but I like it!
It is certainly a valid thing to do in sphinx.
