sphinxsearchHow do I add a Sphinx search bar to my website?


Adding a Sphinx search bar to your website is relatively easy. To do so, you'll need to install the Sphinx search engine on your server and then create a search form on your website.

First, install the Sphinx search engine on your server. You can find the installation instructions here.

Then, create a search form on your website. You can use the below example code to create a simple search form:

<form action="search.php" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="q" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

The form will send the query to the search.php page. To process the search query with Sphinx, you'll need to write some code on the search.php page. You can find an example of this code here.

Once you have the search form and the search.php page set up, your website should be able to process search queries with Sphinx.
