Sphinx is a full-text search engine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast,
|
||
|
|
size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other
|
||
|
|
applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL
|
||
|
|
databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources
|
||
|
|
support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from
|
||
|
|
an XML pipe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as
|
||
|
|
SQL Phrase Index.
