sphinx-searchHow to offset results in SphinxSearch?


SphinxSearch provides the ability to offset results using the OFFSET clause. This clause allows you to skip a certain number of results from the beginning of the result set. For example, the following query will return the second page of results (skipping the first 10 results):

SELECT * FROM index WHERE MATCH('test') OFFSET 10;

The OFFSET clause consists of the following parts:

  • OFFSET: This is the keyword used to indicate that the query should skip a certain number of results.
  • 10: This is the number of results to skip.

In addition to the OFFSET clause, SphinxSearch also provides the LIMIT clause, which allows you to limit the number of results returned. For example, the following query will return the second page of results (skipping the first 10 results and limiting the result set to 10 results):

SELECT * FROM index WHERE MATCH('test') OFFSET 10 LIMIT 10;

The LIMIT clause consists of the following parts:

  • LIMIT: This is the keyword used to indicate that the query should limit the number of results returned.
  • 10: This is the maximum number of results to return.

For more information about the OFFSET and LIMIT clauses, please refer to the SphinxSearch documentation.
