Welcome

How do you implement full-text search for that 10+ million row table, keep up with the load, and stay relevant? Sphinx is good at those kinds of riddles.

The latest stable release is 0.9.8.1, and the latest beta is 0.9.9-rc2.

There's more than one way to find the right answer. Flip the coin?

Docs vs Forum

The forum does not come with a SLA. Commercial support packages do.

May 27, 2009. Public repo, Drizzle support, and call for Sourceforge voters

I was initially going to call this quick entry "All the small things" but then talked myself into keeping it informative anyway. Then again they seem small to me, but might be huge for someone else, eh?

First, we now have a public Subversion repository. It's a read-only mirror hosted at Google Code, the project name is sphinxsearch. Changes are currently svnsync'ed hourly. Likely to add a post-commit hook a bit later. Disclaimer: I did not know we could do it that easily, only learned about the possibility of syncing earlier today. (Thanks fly out to Alexey Vinogradov.)

Second, Eric Day made a patch that enables Sphinx support for Drizzle - thanks a lot! Chances are we're integrating this into 0.9.9-release, when time permits; the patch looks fine at a glance, but I still want to review and actually try it for myself before committing.

And third, last but not least, I just realized that Sourceforge Community Awards 2009 are not only in progress, but actually closing nominations phase on May 29th (if not by May 29th) ie. there's less than two days left. So if you feel that Sphinx is worth the Community pick, you can vote here right now. SysAdmins, Developers, and Enterprise all seem fitting categories to me. Curious if we can at least make it through nominations with almost no time left; according to CCA schedule, we'll all know that in a month. Thanks in advance to all voters!
