Sphinx search for vb 4.x?

[katie hunter]

Hi, I am currently trying to rebuilt my search index after i upgraded to vb 4.x and it is taking so many hours because i have 4+ million posts.

Then i was searching and i came across this Sphinx search. Other than it is hard to integrate, why didn't vb use something like this that will help with big boards which have millions of posts? It seems vb search function is limited in many ways.

Is there a demo for the sphinx search? I couldn't find one so i can see how it looks or work, is it built inside vb search function?

Performance & Scalability

A rough example of how much resources the default search uses, it took nearly 5 days to index 12M posts with the vB database search. The exact same content took 18 minutes to index with our Sphinx system.

Is there a faster way to rebuilt search index? The issue i had, is that many of our members could not find results for topics that is already on the forum. I think that is because i never finished rebuilding the forum index.
