Ruby on Rails

Hi Mike

The reason for the message in the logs is that Thinking Sphinx/Sphinx
only knows the ids of your search results, and needs to load the
actual objects to return - hence why it talks to the database as well.

As for post_desc - this isn't available as a method anywhere (on the
search collection or search results) - the alias you've given that
column is only for Sphinx, not Ruby. So you can use it when searching:

Post.search :conditions => {:post_desc => 'foo'}

But if you want the value of post_desc, you will need to access it as
description:

post = Post.search('foo').first
post ? post.description : 'No Post'

Hope this clarifies things. If you have any more questions, feel free
to ask on the Thinking Sphinx Google Group (I only spotted your posts
here via some noisy twitter bots):
http://groups.google.com/group/thinking-sphinx

Cheers
