Sometime after 99-rc2, Sphinx broke.

We are searching over several kinds of content, each having its own source and index with
some common and some unique attributes. When we search, we need to filter by some of
those unique attributes. With 99-rc2 and earlier, Sphinx would filter by the attributes
appropriately for each subindex that had them. Now Sphinx fails instead.

Does anyone know of a solution to this?

As far as I know this was a deliberate change, I don't know why.

Not do know a way to emulate this in current versions. But might try various things with
SetSelect?

Thank you for suggesting SetSelect, but it didn't solve the issue. It, too, would
complain about missing filter attributes and fail, instead of ignoring the filter.

So I'm not sure this problem is solvable with Sphinx currently.

Silently (!) ignoring invalid filters was overall causing somewhat more trouble than
happiness.

There isn't. Needs to be a new feature (SphinxQL OPTION, I would say).
