That doesn't seem like a huge advantage to me. The deltas seem to work well enough. I don't actually know how Sphinx works, though ― you're saying that the solution posted here, rotating only the...

Ah, it looks like it's actually every 20 minutes that I have the deltas built. No one's ever complained that it takes 10 minutes on average for their posts to appear in the index, so I'm fine with...

I'm curious, did he suggest that you post here?

No. I run it every hour and don't even notice the load, either from indexing or from searching. I could probably run it every five minutes with no...

So you're saying that if the number of results is limited, they won't be sorted by date before they're limited, but after? Is there any way to fix that? Alternatively, if I just increase...

I find it hard to believe that anything based on pure MySQL will be able to handle that many posts nearly as well as Sphinx at the moment. MySQL just doesn't have efficient searching right now. You...

They've said they'll make a search API that should make extensions that support Sphinx (or Lucene, etc.) considerably easier to write.

Don't be. People running large sites are a small percentage...

If it only searches for posts by the user and nothing else (no search terms added), you should just add an index on (userid, dateline) to your post table. Then it will be as fast as fetching the...

If you don't drop the indexes, you'll lose a good part of the benefit of switching to Sphinx (although you'll keep most of it, it's true). The indexes are very large and keeping them up-to-date will...

You can put zero-width spaces (& #8203; but without the space) between each image to explicitly require them to be valid break points, if they aren't considered that already.
