Thinking Sphinx : Multiple indices search - thinking-sphinx

Question

I want to create two indices for the same model and search separately
I am using
gem 'thinking-sphinx', '3.2.0'
gem 'riddle', '1.5.11'
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :product, :with => :active_record, :delta => ThinkingSphinx::Deltas::DelayedDelta do
indexes :field_a
end
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :product, :name => "active_product", :with => :active_record, :delta => ThinkingSphinx::Deltas::DelayedDelta do
indexes :field_a
where "(active = 1)"
end
when i tried to search this way to get only the active products
Product.search_for_ids "", :match_mode => :extended, :index => "active_product_core, active_product_delta", :page => params[:page], :per_page => 50, :sort_mode => :extended, :order => "field_a desc"
But it is running query like this and listing all products
SELECT * FROM `product_core`, `product_delta` WHERE `sphinx_deleted` = 0 ORDER BY `field_a` desc LIMIT 0, 50 OPTION max_matches=50000
How can i get only the active products or to make sure query runs like this?
SELECT * FROM `active_product_core`, `active_product_delta` WHERE `sphinx_deleted` = 0 ORDER BY `field_a` desc LIMIT 0, 50 OPTION max_matches=50000
Note: Above feature was working fine in Thinking sphinx version 2
gem 'thinking-sphinx', '2.0.14'
gem 'riddle', '1.5.3'

Answer 1

In TS v3, the search option is now :indices rather than :index, and expects an array of index names. So, try the following:
Product.search_for_ids(
:indices => ["active_product_core", "active_product_delta"],
:page => params[:page],
:per_page => 50,
:order => "field_a desc"
)
I've removed :sort_mode and :match_mode from the options you were using - the extended approaches are the only approaches available with Sphinx's SphinxQL protocol (and that's what TS v3 uses), so you don't need to specify them.
