sphinxsearchHow can I adjust the index field lengths when using Sphinx search?

The index field lengths in Sphinx can be adjusted using the sql_field_string directive. This directive allows you to specify the maximum length of string fields, which can be set to any value between 1 and 2^32-1.

For example, if you wanted to set the maximum length of a field to 255 characters, you could add the following directive to your Sphinx configuration file:

sql_field_string = myfield:255

The sql_field_string directive has the following parts:

• sql_field_string: This is the directive that tells Sphinx that you want to adjust the field length.
• myfield: This is the name of the field that you want to adjust.
• 255: This is the maximum length of the field that you want to set.
