I've got more for you.  I looked up that weird error and found out that it
is a known bug in the search command.  One person said they got around it
by adding the --noinfo option.  Sure enough when I ran it that way I got
results (I've switched back to the contact_archives table which was the one
that I originally contacted you about):

search --noinfo --config

words:
1. 'worried': 4284 documents, 4668 hits

As you can see, Sphinx is successfully finding the search term that
Thinking Sphinx is not (after starting the demon and loading the console):

>> ContactArchive.search 'worried'
=> []

And, again, a mysql query returns similar results:

mysql> select count(*) from contact_archives where message like '%worried%';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     4287 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.18 sec)

Thoughts?
