sphinx-searchHow to use the MySQL protocol in SphinxSearch?

SphinxSearch supports the MySQL protocol, which allows you to access the search engine using the same commands as you would use for a MySQL database. To use the MySQL protocol, you need to start the searchd daemon with the --mysql-socket option.

searchd --mysql-socket /tmp/mysql.sock

Once the daemon is running, you can connect to it using the mysql command line client.

mysql -S /tmp/mysql.sock

Code explanation

1. Start the searchd daemon with the --mysql-socket option.
2. Connect to the daemon using the mysql command line client.
3. Execute SQL queries against the search engine.
