If ranking serve to influence the "weight"

It would influence sorting.

So why with my ranking, I have less result than with another ?

Manual say 

SPH_MATCH_ANY uses SPH_RANK_MATCHANY ranker;

and later in manual

SPH_RANK_MATCHANY = sum((word_count+(lcs-1)*max_lcs)*user_weight)

ref : http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#weighting

So 

mode=any

and

mode=extended2;ranker=expr:sum((word_count+(lcs-1)*max_lcs)*user_weight)'

would return same results but it doesn't. Why ?

has "ranking" influence on matching ?

It seems not possible with ranking expression

So my solution is to alter search string

 $arrWords = explode(' ', $searchString);
 $searchString =  '"'.implode('"|"', $arrWords).'"';

  • Sphinx only have one 'matching mode' **internally** - extended. When you select other matching modes, eg any, it rewrites the query to emulate that matching mode (using extended syntax) AND sets a particular ranking mode. So if you want to emulate other matching modes yourself, you need to do both actions as well. – barryhunter Aug 27 '13 at 14:46
