I've post my question here:

Really need you help guys!
And thank you so much Pat for such a great gem !

Here my question too:
-------------------

I'd like to do a complex search with thinking sphinx:

Search for users which: 

-> live in a city (city_id attribute) 

-> or has hability to move to a city (mobile_cities association) 

-> or live at a maximum distance from a lat/long point, the maximum 
distance is different for each user and is set in a mobility_distance 
attribute.

For now I did that with 3 differents search, I volontary set a big per_page 
number, then i merge the 3 results on a single array, an then paginate this 
array :

#users living in the @city
search_set_living = search_set.merge({:city_id => @city.id })
users_living =  User.search :with => search_set_living.dup,
                                :page => 1, :per_page => 1000

#users declaring hability to move to the @city
search_set_mobile = search_set.merge({:mobile_cities_ids => @city.id })
users_mobile =  User.search :with => search_set_mobile.dup,:page => 1, 
:per_page => 1000

#users living at a maximum distance from the origin point(custom distance for 
each user, max 30km)   
search_set_around = search_set.merge({"@geodist" => 0.0..30_000.0})
users_around =  User.search :geo => [@search_latitude * Math::PI / 180 , 
@search_longitude * Math::PI / 180],
                                  :with => search_set_around.dup,
                                  :page => 1, :per_page => 1000
users_around_filtered = users_around.dup.delete_if{|user| 
(user.mobility_distance * 1000 )< user.sphinx_attributes['@geodist'] }


#merge the 3 results in a array
all_users =  (users_mobile.flatten + users_around_filtered.flatten).uniq

#look for facets and paginate the array
@facets = User.facets :with => {:user_id => all_users.map(&:id)}
@users_to_display =  all_users.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 10)

This is working fine but i'm not satisfied: -performance are not so good, 
-I want the ability to sort on multiple attributes like this :order => 
"created_at DESC, @relevance DESC"

I want to do the exact same search but in a single sphinx's search. I know 
that I should use the "OR Logic with Attribute Filters" from the 
docs<http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/common_issues.html#or_attributes> 
but 
I don't know how to mix it with a geo_search call... I really have no idea 
how to do that, can you guys help me ?

Many thanks,
