Shpinx results not returning matches after spaces

When trying to do a search for bmw motorrad or partials of it.

bmw is ok

bmw m or any characters after return no results

bmw motorrad returns the company

We finally got a chance to move our servers from managed to self managed. in the process we upgraded mysql from 5.0.37 to 5.5.28.

We also upgraded sphinx from 0.9.9 to 2.2.10 with Sphinx as a mysql engine. We are using Laravel 5.1 and using a package sngrl\SphinxSearch to connect to sphinx.

config for sngrl\SphinxSearch

return array (

'indexes' => array (
    'companyqs' => array ( 'table' => 'company', 'column' => 'companyID' ),

sphinxSearch search query

public function getQSAdvertiser($keyword){
    $sphinx = new SphinxSearch();
    $results = $sphinx
        ->search($keyword, 'companyqs')
        ->limit(10000)
        ->setMatchMode(\Sphinx\SphinxClient::SPH_MATCH_EXTENDED2)
        ->setRankingMode(\Sphinx\SphinxClient::SPH_RANK_MATCHANY)
        ->query();

    return $results;
}

Thanks for looking and appreciate any help.
