You can get the weight/rank via each_with_weighting:

  results = Model.search 'foo'
  results.each_with_weighting do |result, weight|
    # ...
  end

Keep in mind there's no upper limit on weight values - just that the higher it 
is, the better the match, according to Sphinx. And your basic match modes (all, 
any) don't do anything much in the way of weighting - in most cases, you'll 
just see the default weight of 1. The extended or extended2 match modes are 
your best bet.
