If you want to change the number of results returned then you need to change line 15 of 'includes/sphinx.php'.

Old:

PHP Code:

$cl->SetLimits ( 0, $vbulletin->options['maxresults'] ); 


New (replace '2500' with the number you want):

PHP Code:

$cl->SetLimits ( 0, $vbulletin->options['maxresults'], 2500 ); 


Otherwise, great work! This has really sped up searching on the forums I have used for testing (6K posts, 820K posts, and 3.2M posts).

Little help!

Most likly I am just misunderstanding the results.
Here are the results from a command line search: (displaying matches: snipped)

[root@MYSERVER ~/]# search test

Sphinx 0.9.7-RC2
Copyright (c) 2001-2006, Andrew Aksyonoff

index 'mypostidx': query 'test': returned 1000 matches of 191296 total in 0.029 sec

words:
1. 'test': 191296 documents, 475585 hits
index 'mypostidxdelta': query 'test': returned 56 matches of 56 total in 0.000 sec

words:
1. 'test': 56 documents, 134 hits
index 'mythreadidx': query 'test': returned 1000 matches of 2847 total in 0.154 sec

words:
1. 'test': 2847 documents, 2879 hits
index 'mythreadidxdelta': query 'test': returned 0 matches of 0 total in 0.000 sec

But, searching in the forum: (show posts/search entire post)
Search: Key Word(s): test Showing results 1 to 40 of 392

(I created a huge test forum and it has many more posts with the word "test" than 392)

And using test.php
php test.php test
Query failed: searchd error: index 'mythreadidx': incompatible schemas: non-virtual attributes count mismatch: 4 in schema '/var/sphinx/mythreadidx', 5 in schema '/var/sphinx/mypostidx'.

On the forum, the search never returns any more that 400 results (i.e. Showing: 40 of 400). I cannot find a setting that cuts off the results at 400.

I have read through this thread (twice!) and made suggested changes to sphinx.php [$cl->SetLimits()] and sphinx.conf (max_matches) with no change to the results.
(I also searches the "Common Forum" at sphinxsearch.com, no luck!)

Any insight into this would be most appreciated!
