I have been using Thinking Sphinx for a while in a production
application and have nothing but great things to say.

Recently my customers have been asking to add the extended match mode
functionality so that they could search with '@foo bar' type of
syntax.

>From the looks of it I just add :match_mode => :extended to my search
call and it is done.  I've tested it a bit and it seems that regular
searching still works the same way as it does in default :any match
mode.

Should I be concerned or aware of any major differences between :any
and :extended match modes that might negatively impact my customers
(performance, errors, etc.)?  Or do I basically get :any with addition
of ability to use the extended syntax by setting match mode
to :extended?  I am just a little nervous about simply changing this
setting and moving it to production, but I have not been able to find
any disadvantages.  Thanks in advance for the input.
