Thinking Sphinx attribute filter and negative values

Just wondered why I got no results after executing a search via Sphinx and Thinking Sphinx. The problem was, that I used a negative value in a filter attribute and that Sphinx only supports unsigned integers:

Attributes are named. Attribute names are case insensitive. Attributes are not full-text indexed; they are stored in the index as is. Currently supported attribute types are:

unsigned integers (1-bit to 32-bit wide);

UNIX timestamps;

floating point values (32-bit, IEEE 754 single precision);

string ordinals (specially computed integers);

strings (since 1.10-beta);

MVA, multi-value attributes (variable-length lists of 32-bit unsigned integers).

next-generation architecture for Google's web search

For the last several months, a large team of Googlers has been working on a secret project: a next-generation architecture for Google’s web search. It’s the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions. The new infrastructure sits “under the hood” of Google’s search engine, which means that most users won’t notice a difference in search results. But web developers and power searchers might notice a few differences, so we’re opening up a web developer preview to collect feedback.
(see Google Webmaster Central)

Clusty. My new favourite search engine.

It’s a shame that i didn’t recognize this thing of beauty before. :)
