sphinxsearchHow do I limit the number of results for a SphinxSearch query?


To limit the number of results for a SphinxSearch query, you can use the LIMIT clause. This clause takes two arguments: the offset and the number of results. For example:

SELECT * FROM index_name WHERE MATCH('@column_name value') LIMIT 0, 10;

This query will return the first 10 results that match the given criteria.

The parts of this query are:

  • SELECT * FROM index_name: This is the command to select all the fields from the given index.
  • WHERE MATCH('@column_name value'): This is the criteria for the search.
  • LIMIT 0, 10: This is the clause to limit the number of results. The first argument is the offset, and the second is the number of results.

For more information, please see the Sphinx Documentation.
