Examples
The following example shows how to filter films based on the actor_id attribute. The filter will match any films with actor_id equal to 35 OR 28.
Copy
SphinxClient sphinxClient = new SphinxClient();
sphinxClient.SearchOptions.SetFilter<SphinxInteger>("actor_id", 35, 28);

SphinxSearchResult searchResult = sphinxClient.Query("room", "sakila");

foreach (SphinxMatch sphinxMatch in searchResult.Matches)
{
    Console.WriteLine(sphinxMatch);
}
If you wanted to retrieve all films with actor_id equal to 35 AND 28, you would call the SetFilter method like this:
Copy
sphinxClient.SearchOptions.SetFilter<SphinxInteger>("actor_id", 35);
sphinxClient.SearchOptions.SetFilter<SphinxInteger>("actor_id", 28);
