Thinking Sphinx since v3.0.0 uses Sphinx's SphinxQL protocol (which is very similar to SQL), and SphinxQL uses Sphinx's extended match mode, which is documented here: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-2.1.8.html#extended-syntax
The OR logic is represented in Sphinx with a pipe character |. So, you'll need to split up each word by pipes, perhaps like the following: params[:search].gsub(/\s+/, ' | ') Of course, more complex queries may not play nicely with this, so it may be easier to teach the people using your site to use pipes, or something that's easily regex'd (like OR): params[:search].gsub(/\bOR\b/, ' | ') Cheers -- Pat On 16 Aug 2014, at 12:06 am, [email protected] wrote: > How can I search for multiple keywords that will returns results containing > at least one of the keywords entered? > > For example on my app there are 2 users who on their profile has "dogs and > cat" and "cat" on their page.
