Hi Maxime I don't think this is possible, because there are certain attributes Thinking Sphinx automatically adds to each index, and that it expects when querying. I'm afraid you'll need to rewrite the index definitions in define_index blocks in your models.
It's easy enough to index data via TS using a modified conf file (rake ts:reindex) - but it's the searching that won't work out, I'm afraid. An alternative is to just use Riddle, which is a link between Ruby and Sphinx (instead of ActiveRecord and Sphinx), but I think it's far less painful to convert the indexes to TS' syntax. Still, your mileage may vary.
