I just upgraded to 0.9.8, but am running some incredibly old search.php code (on 3.6). So far so good. I had to do a major reorg of my sphinx.conf, but I couldn't resist some of the new options (unlink_old is nice because this box has limited diskspace).
I'm curious if anyone has a definitive status report on what is and is not working properly on 3.7. I see orban has updated the first post recently, but I wasn't sure if all of the quirks that are listed were still applicable.
We're not ready to upgrade to 3.7 yet, but I'd really like to have "Find all posts/threads by user" hitting Sphinx when we do, those queries are sort of brutal for us.
Also, does anyone have a decent guide on "How to search" laying around? Our users seem to have trouble figuring out search operands, searching for phrases, etc. I was hoping someone who uses sphinx might have a FAQ entry done up that explains what you can and can't do with this setup.
