   Indexed characters are managed through the charset_table and (prior to Sphinx 2.2) charset_type. Here is Sphinx's documentation for v2.1.8 (which I believe you are using):
   http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/archives/2.1.8/conf-charset-type.html
   http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/archives/2.1.8/conf-charset-table.html

   In Thinking Sphinx, these settings are managed in a per-environment manner within config/thinking_sphinx.yml - similar to config/database.yml. The default settings should actually work fine with Cyrillic characters, but I think the issue here is that Thinking Sphinx now expects Sphinx v2.2.x by default (which uses UTF-8 automatically and has deprecated charset-type). To explicitly set that, add the following to your config/thinking_sphinx.yml file:

   production:
     charset_type: "utf-8"
   

   I would recommend using Sphinx 2.2.11 instead, though - and this is also managed in config/thinking_sphinx.yml:

   production:
     version: 2.2.11
   

   Once you've made either of these changes, you'll want to run rake ts:rebuild to ensure the data is re-indexed accordingly.
