sphinxsearchHow do I use SphinxSearch to create a snippet?


SphinxSearch is a powerful open-source full-text search engine. It can be used to create snippets, which are short pieces of text that provide an overview of a document or webpage.

To create a snippet with SphinxSearch, first create an index of the documents or webpages that you want to search. This can be done with the indexer command. For example:

indexer --config config.conf --all

This will create an index of all documents or webpages specified in config.conf.

Next, use the search command to search your index and retrieve the snippets for each result. For example:

search --config config.conf --snippets "query"

This command will search your index for the query “query” and return the snippets for each result.

You can customize the snippets by specifying the --limit and --around options. The --limit option specifies the maximum number of words in the snippet, while the --around option specifies the number of words to include before and after the matching words in the snippet.

For more information, see the SphinxSearch documentation.
