sphinxsearchHow can I use Sphinxsearch with PostgreSQL?


Sphinxsearch is an open source full-text search engine that can be used with PostgreSQL. It provides fast and efficient search capabilities for large databases.

To use Sphinxsearch with PostgreSQL, first install Sphinxsearch on your system. Then, create a Sphinx configuration file that defines the data sources, indexing options, and search settings.

Next, create a PostgreSQL database with the data you want to index. Then, use the Sphinxsearch indexer command to index the data.

indexer --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf --all

Finally, use the Sphinxsearch search command to query the indexed data.

search --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf "query string"

The following parts are involved in using Sphinxsearch with PostgreSQL:

  • Installing Sphinxsearch
  • Creating a Sphinx configuration file
  • Creating a PostgreSQL database
  • Indexing the data with the indexer command
  • Querying the indexed data with the search command
