Hi there,
Our search index is getting pretty slow when searching for common words.  A 
plain search that only has a few hits will complete in 3-4 milliseconds, 
while a search for "the" might take 500ms.  On the latter, ThinkingSphinx 
reports: 

>> ThinkingSphinx::Search.search('the', limit: 1)
  Sphinx Query (477.0ms)  the
  Sphinx  Found 511222 results

(Yes, I guess I ought to have a stop word file to strip out "the", "a", 
etc.  Let's ignore that for now)

For this particular search I don't care too much about the 511222 results, 
I only want a few.  And I don't care too much about the order they're 
returned in.  Is there a better/faster way of doing this?
