Hi Zoran
Only thing I can offer is that if you get a city match, take that
city's name out of the Tip search, since the geographic position
should cover that.
ie:
@results = Tip.search(
params[:user_input].gsub(/#{geo_city.name}/i, ''),
:geo => [city_lat, city_long],
:conditions => {:theme_name => params[:theme]},
:with => {"@geodist" => Range.new(0.0, radius)},
:order => "@weight, @geodist ASC",
:per_page => 50
)
This is all search semantics though - perhaps it's worth asking on the
Sphinx forums?
