Empty query string returns empty result set

When I submit an empty query to Flying Sphinx I get an empty result set back. On my development setup with thinking Sphinx I get the whole index back. Is the empty result set the intended behaviour for FS?

   Hi Kasper

   This certainly isn't the expected behaviour - Sphinx on Flying Sphinx should behave the same as Sphinx on your machine. Can you talk me through the query you're running, and perhaps the app name so I can check the status of Sphinx on the FS servers?

   Cheers

   Hi Pat
   The app name is lawyeah-staging, Server: prague —
   ec2-23-22-176-191.compute-1.amazonaws.com

   Log of query on my development setup

   Query: ''
   Params: {:with=>{:role_id=>2}, :order=>\"@relevance DESC\",
   :match_mode=>:any, :field_weights=>{:user_name=>10, :firm=>5},
   :star=>true, :conditions=>{}}

   Log from lawyeah-staging:

   Query: ''
   Params: {:with=>{:role_id=>2}, :order=>\"@relevance DESC\",
   :match_mode=>:any, :field_weights=>{:user_name=>10, :firm=>5},
   :star=>true, :conditions=>{}}

   The query is the same on both setups

   Can't spot anything odd on the server. What version of Sphinx are you using locally? And what happens if you change the match_mode to :extended or :all?

   :extended did the trick.

   My server version was also slightly off

   sphinx.yml:

   development:
     version: '0.9.9'
     enable_star: 1
     min_infix_len: 1

   staging:
     version: '2.1.0'
     port: 9333
     enable_star: 1
     min_infix_len: 1

   Good to know that helped. Any further issues, do let me know.

   Also it's worth noting: 2.1.0-beta is actually older than 2.0.x releases (Sphinx version numbering is a little confusing), so if you want the latest Sphinx, 2.0.6 is currently the newest stable release.
