Suggest an explicit ANY()/ALL() around a filter on MVA column

On Manticore 2.3.3 and I see this warning suggest an explicit ANY()/ALL() around a filter on MVA column every time I use a multi attribute filter, like categories in (453,181). The queries seems to work fine compared to Sphinx 2.2.11 and I see no difference in results, but why this warning? Thanks

Actually that’s something available in Sphinx 2.3.2, where MVAs got some new constructors that can be used. It’s an undocumented feature (which reminds me I need to update Manticore docs about as well!).
The old behaviour is equivalent to newer ANY(mvaattr)>x, means true fi any value from mvaattr is greater than x
ALL(mvaattr)>x means true if all values from mvaattr are greater than x.
One of the tests has more examples: manticoresearch/test.xml at master · manticoresoftware/manticoresearch · GitHub
The warning is there to suggest starting using these constructors.

Thanks, the examples make sense!
