Hi Robin

I think the best approach here is to create an 'active' attribute which 
represents that state. Here's an example that works with MySQL - some adapting 
is probably required for PostgreSQL:

  has "IF((COUNT(DISTINCT domains.id) + COUNT(DISTINCT contracts.id)) > 0, 1, 
0)",
    :as   => :active,
    :type => :boolean

If in the future you're not referring to the domains or contracts associations 
elsewhere in your index definition, then you'll need to tell TS to include 
those joins manually:

  join contacts
  join domains

And then in your scope:

  sphinx_scope(:active) do
    {:with => {:active => true}}
  end

Let me know how this goes.

Cheers
