sphinxsearchHow do I use forward slash in SphinxSearch?


The forward slash (/) is used to denote a regular expression in the SphinxSearch query syntax. A regular expression is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern.

For example, the following query searches for the word cat or dog:

SELECT * FROM index WHERE MATCH('cat / dog')

The code above can be broken down into the following parts:

  • SELECT * FROM index: This part of the code specifies which index to search in.
  • WHERE MATCH('cat / dog'): This part of the code specifies the search query. The forward slash (/) is used to denote a regular expression, which in this case is cat or dog.

For more information on regular expressions in SphinxSearch, please refer to the SphinxSearch documentation.
