Hmm, well the errors that came through on Hoptoad from production were
simply NoMethodErrors thrown because total_pages was trying to divide
nil: @total_pages ||= (@results[:total] / per_page.to_f).ceil =>
@results[:total] was nil I guess. Nothing was in there about Sphinx
though. I think Riddle keeps the Sphinx errors pretty silent, no?

This is really strange and I can't seem to recreate any of the
problems consistently... I was at one point getting the same issues on
my dev box in the console. You know how the log shows something like:

Sphinx   Querying: 'Would | it | be | funny | to | see | ZA | NEWS |
tv | commercials | on | SABC | (when | they | were | not | going | to
| run | the | show)?'
  Sphinx (0.011262s)   Found 0 results

Well it said:

Sphinx   Querying: 'Would | it | be | funny | to | see | ZA | NEWS |
tv | commercials | on | SABC | (when | they | were | not | going | to
| run | the | show)?'
  Sphinx (0.011262s)   Found  results

I will continue to try to recreate the error... I will also look
through sphinx.query.log to see if anything pops up.
