sphinxsearchHow do I set the client_timeout for sphinxsearch?

The client_timeout setting for Sphinxsearch is used to control the maximum amount of time a client can wait for a response from the searchd server.

To set the client_timeout, you can use the set_connect_timeout() function in the PHP API. The following example code block shows how to set the timeout to 10 seconds:

$cl->set_connect_timeout(10);

The set_connect_timeout() function takes a single parameter, which is the timeout in seconds.

In addition to the set_connect_timeout() function, you can also set the client_timeout in the Sphinx configuration file (sphinx.conf). The following example shows how to set the client_timeout to 15 seconds in the configuration file:

client_timeout = 15

Once the client_timeout is set, it will remain in effect until it is changed again.
