In order to do so I downloaded the latest Sphinx version to obtain the phpapi. wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.0.5-release.tar.gz When I try to perform a query I get an error about versions.

I have been looking at search solutions like Sphinx, Solr and Elasticsearch but they are all way too complex for what I need. I’m basically looking for a server software, best distributed, that allows me to just throw in chunks of text associated with a single small identifier each. Then find keywords quickly and return the identifiers given for the chunks that yielded a match with one or more of the keywords. Does something like [...]

When I do “sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch”, I get version 0.9. I want the latest stable version (which is 2.4, I believe) How can I do that using aptitude?

I have sphinx setup to run in config files on port 3312. I can use the indexer, and create the index. I can search. I can’t run searchd to return queries. I tried telnet 127.0.0.1 3312. My connection is refused. Whats my next step? I am not very good with Iptables. Thanks in advance. You should start searchd first, something like /usr/local/bin/searchd (you should use actual path to searchd, try locate searchd to get it) [...]

I tried installing sphinx. I downloaded the 0.9.9 version, but after compiling and installing, it came out as 0.9.8. Anyone has any idea why’s this? Thanks! Are you sure you are picking up the correct binary? I compiled version 0.9.9 and it displays the correct version number. You may want to try to execute something like ./src/indexer –version from the source directory to make 100% sure you are picking up the right binary. Check more [...]

It’s been suggested that we use mysql for our site’s search as it’d be running on the same server that hosts our web server (nginx) and our db (mysql). Since not all of our pages are created from the database, it’s been suggested that we have a crawler that can crawl the site, and toss the page url and data into mysql and have sphinx index on that. Does anyone know of an open source [...]
