I’m using Sphinx 2.0.4 with PHP with the extended match mode enabled. When I try to use the Sphinx query language, I can only get results if I use 10 words or less. For example, if I searched for something like a | b it will work just fine, but if I search for a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j | k it will always return no results, even if there are matches. Anyone know of a setting to increase this limit? I poked around in the config file but the changes I made didn’t seem to change anything.

    Are you sure that is the issue? I’ve used queries much longer than that (eg having over 100 or’ed keywords), that work just fine.

    In fact just tried…

    select * from sample8 where match('one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten | eleven | twelve');
<SNIP>
20 rows in set (0.28 sec)

select * from sample8 where match('a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j | k');
<SNIP>
20 rows in set (1.14 sec)

    Suggest posting an actual REAL query tha fails, rather than a fake one.
