sphinxsearchHow do I use SphinxSearch query syntax?


SphinxSearch query syntax is used to search for specific information in a database. It is a full-text search engine written in C++ and designed to be used as a standalone search engine for websites and applications.

The syntax consists of a set of keywords, operators, and modifiers that are used to construct a query. The query is then evaluated and the results are returned.

Example query using SphinxSearch syntax:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE MATCH('keyword1 keyword2')

This query will search for documents that contain both the words "keyword1" and "keyword2".

The following operators and modifiers can be used with SphinxSearch query syntax:

  • * - Wildcard operator.
  • ~ - Proximity operator.
  • @ - Field operator.
  • ( ) - Grouping operator.
  • AND, OR, NOT - Boolean operators.

For more information about SphinxSearch query syntax, please refer to the official documentation.
