sphinxsearchHow do I set up a SphinxSearch demo?

Setting up a SphinxSearch demo is a simple process.

1. Install the SphinxSearch software package by running the command:

sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch

2. Create a configuration file for your search index, using the command line tool indexer. For example:

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

3. Create a data source for your search index, such as a MySQL database. For example:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE sphinx_demo;

4. Import some data into your data source. For example:

mysql -u root -p sphinx_demo < /path/to/data.sql

5. Configure your SphinxSearch configuration file to use the data source. For example:

source src1
{
    type            = mysql
    sql_host        = localhost
    sql_user        = root
    sql_pass        = password
    sql_db          = sphinx_demo
    sql_query       = \
        SELECT id, title, content \
        FROM documents
}

6. Index your data source using the indexer command line tool. For example:

indexer --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf src1

7. Use the search command line tool to search your data source. For example:

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

This will set up a SphinxSearch demo.
