Question

I am having a problem with Thinking sphinx on webfaction -- I have no probelem when I do it locally on osx.

I search

>> ThinkingSphinx.search \'raymond\

Answer 1

Are you using AwesomePrint by any chance?

I am and that is what was causing my problem.

You can see the bug report here:

Answer 2

If you have not already, you should run rake ts:index

If you would like your search to update every time you make a change, I would suggest looking into Delta Indexes also.
