I have researched and read many posts on this and I thought I had found the 
solution, but to no avail. 

I have several fields or attributes that can be null. A null value 
signifies we need to perform some action on these entities, such as 
"welcome_call_needed". Once the call is made, a timestamp for when the call 
was made is added to the attribute. 

Here is my latest attempt at finding those attributes with null values. 

In my Account index file I have :

ThinkingSphinx::Index.define(:account,
    :with => :active_record,
    :delta => ThinkingSphinx::Deltas::DelayedDelta)  do
  
     ............

     has "welcome_call_made IS NULL", :as => :need_welcome_call, :type => 
:boolean

     ............

end 

MySQL query as follows in the console: 

mysql> select count(*) from accounts WHERE welcome_call_made is NULL;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     3989 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


The query from the Rails 3.2.8 Console produces:

irb(main):005:0> accounts = Account.search :with => { :need_welcome_call => 
true }
=> []

I am using Thinking Sphinx 3.1.4 and Ruby 1.9.3-p547 along with Rails 3.2.8 
and MySQL 5.6. I am certain I am missing something very elementary. Sphinx 
is phenomenal and if I can get passed this last small hurdle it will have 
greatly improved the performance/response time in our app.

Thanks again for the assistance and the code.
