Install Sphinx Search?

Welcome to SMF
Are you actually experiencing any problems with the current mod? Most likely nobody has updated it, unless there have been changes to Sphinx which actually prevent it from working

I'll double check, but I believe the one I posted above may still be the latest

Thanks.
If the morphology is included (morphology = stem_ru) - in results there are no quote with allotted search result by means of morphology.
Who can correct it?

[moder]

I am sorry for my English.
As an example, stem_en should truncate ' walking ' to ' walk '.
It so, turns out for ' walking ' we see in results of search the allocated words "' walking '", and by a word "' walk" is not present, only links to topic and author (topic and last post).
And so Mod works well, only sphinx.conf it is necessary to correct a little under new syntax Sphinx.
It is possible to receive a word on which searched Sphinx (for example "walk" by search "walking")?

I have Sphinx 0.9.9-rc2 running on SMF 1.1.9.  Things went well enough.  Now that I am using Sphinx instead of fulltext, can I remove the fulltext index from the messages table and convert the table to InnoDB so that I can do incremental backups of the database?

In default installation of SMF, the seach results is ordered by relevance. With Sphinx this isn't occurring, as you can see the example in the attachment.

How do i fix this ?

[FaBMak]

Can I see your configuration file? The one here is calculated from a custom formula; there is nothing in Sphinx by default to generate a 'relevance' like that.

I think the problem is how the search result is sorted, the relevance is calculate right. This happen with you ?

There is no API in this thread. Only the Sphinx configurator and MOD. I'm using the Sphinx 0.9.9-RC2 and i copy the api/sphinxapi.php from sources files to SMF Sources directory.

[FaBMak]

I'm using the MOD from this thread. Yes, there is some errors when i start the Sphinx, but the is no fatal errors.

[FaBMak]

I found it!

Change Sources/Search.php
From:

Code Select Expand

$mySphinx->SetGroupBy('ID_TOPIC', SPH_GROUPBY_ATTR);
To:

Code Select Expand

$mySphinx->SetGroupBy('ID_TOPIC', SPH_GROUPBY_ATTR, 'relevance DESC' );

[steve51184]

any chance of an update to this mod with the latest version of Sphinx for smf 1.1.10

[steve51184]

ok but that is 2 years old.. can't someone do a quick edit for us who have smf 1.1.10 and Sphinx 0.9.9-rc2? PLEASE?

[steve51184]

so how hard is it and how long would it take?

[steve51184]

Out of interest, how big is your forum?

Ah, so you're in the category of user that would begin to benefit from it, and you're probably on a VPS where you can compile your own software.

Are you using a Large Custom index in the interim?

i have my own full root server and no i use no index atm (i know, i know.. lol)

[steve51184]

well i've tried Fulltext index but it's not any faster then No index in fact it might be a little slower :\

[steve51184]

so what's the point in a full text index if it's slower?

[Ensiferous]

Arantor, let me know if you need a hand with the sphinx integration. Forum search is actually the slowest part of my site right now, and since my site search uses sphinx already I figured that'd be the natural progressing, so I'm damn glad you're already working on this.

[Ensiferous]

Jesus christ, just had a look at the search function and it's 1500 bloody lines... It's times like this I really wish SMF had nicer code. =/

[Something like that]

The code is actually pretty nice. it's the number of features that are responsible for the code size.
