With MW 1.18 released, the Special:Search expects the search URL to set a profile parameter such as [1]. If the parameter is not set, the profile is set to advanced despite any preferences settings. For info on the profile parameter see [2], [3] Right now SphinxSearch does not determine any profile parameter. [1] &profile=all& [2] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SpecialSearchProfileForm [3] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SpecialSearchSetupEngine
The problem is not SphinxSearch but rather MW 1.18 routine that determines which search profile to use as default. See #32970 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 32970 ***
