I’m already familiar with wice\_grid for doing simple sorting &  
filtering, but I’d like the same functionality but with full-text  
search (everyone seems to be recommending Thinking or UltraSphinx so  
let’s stay with that I guess).

Ideally someone would know how to get ThinkingSphinx + wice\_grid to  
play happy together, but without a serious dive into the wice\_grid  
plugin that doesn’t seem possible. Anyone have any ideas? Or is  
everyone rolling their own by hand? In a perfect world I wouldn’t  
have to use different plugins for my “normal” grid & full text search  
results grid.
