sphinxsearchHow can I use Sphinx Search to index and search Java content?


Sphinx Search is a full-text search engine that can be used to index and search Java content. It is open source and written in C++.

To use Sphinx Search for Java content, you will need to install the Java API for Sphinx Search. This API provides a set of classes that can be used to create an index and search the index for Java content.

Once the Java API is installed, you can use the following code to create an index and search it for Java content:

// create an index
Indexer indexer = new Indexer();
indexer.setIndexPath("/path/to/index");
indexer.addSource("/path/to/source");
indexer.index();

// search the index
Searcher searcher = new Searcher();
searcher.setIndexPath("/path/to/index");
ResultSet results = searcher.search("query");

// print the results
for (Result result : results) {
    System.out.println(result.getText());
}

The code above does the following:

  1. Creates an index at /path/to/index from the source at /path/to/source.
  2. Searches the index for the query query.
  3. Prints the results of the search.
