Hi Pat and other sphinx experts: We're indexing businesses by name and category (and some other fields). We want to ensure that something that matches *exactly* in name or category will be boosted above something that is a partial match or match across fields (ie, if I search for "Burger Bar" in Las Vegas, the business by the name of "Burger Bar" should be returned above the business "Al's Bar" that has also been categorized as "Burgers", also above something like "Johnny's Bar and Burgers").
We're doing expression sorting, so we would need to be able to do something like "+ @exact_match*10", where @exact_match would be 1 if it's an exact match or 0 otherwise. That's just what I was hoping for -- any way to achieve a similar result would be spectacular.
