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.
