Sphinx (Sphinx search integration)

Right now is being developed a new Drupal 7 version, support for xmlpipe2 and a better documentaiton.

This module integrates the Sphinx full-text search daemon with Drupal. Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. See more at http://sphinxsearch.com

Current features include:

• Simple and advanced search forms
• Excerpts
• Use and management of several indexes, and even more deamons
• Easy per index management of fields and attributes
• A local page for each index
• A search phrase spelling suggestion module using pspell
• Faceted Search - using MVA's and groupBy features
• Configurable paths

The module is aimed at enterprise scale Drupal sites with large amounts of content. The module is not plug and play. It integrates Sphinx and Drupal, but you need to know how to setup indexes with fields and attributes in order to use the module successfully.
