I'm somewhat geeked: I have Sphinx running on my test forum! Finally got indexer and searchd to run and load. NO errors from what I can tell--this has to be a first!
I did the changes to vB 3.7 (uploaded search_sphinx.php, sphinxapi.php, added the two plugins), but I can't tell if I'm using Sphinx or not. Is there any way I can tell? Searches were fast to begin with on this smaller forum, so time is not a good benchmark here. Any other way to tell? I did enter a new post with the word "privileges" in it, and I see it did not show up in Sphinx (using
search at the command line) after I ran the "indexer --all" command for a second time.
I just want to see IF it is working before I test HOW it is working. It seems like it went too easily for it to be working properly...
