Description

Sphinx is a full-text search engine. Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from an XML pipe. As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index.
