}

Start the Sphinxsearch daemon with the configuration file by running the following command:

searchd --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf

Index the data by running the following command:

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

Test the index by running the following command:

search --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf test

Explanation:

The first step is to download and install Sphinxsearch on Ubuntu. This can be done by running sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch in the terminal.
The next step is to create a configuration file for Sphinxsearch. This file should be named sphinx.conf and should contain the necessary settings for the search engine.
The Sphinxsearch daemon can then be started with the configuration file by running the command searchd --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf.
The data can then be indexed by running the command indexer --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf --all.
Finally, the index can be tested by running the command search --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf test.
