Has anyone else here tried it?

Just curious if anyone has tried this at all. (This was buried in my last lengthy post.) I believe Sphinx also has phrase searching, where you enter search terms in quotes, but I have a feeling that vB strips out anything that's not alphanumeric...

Both of these would be a welcome addition to vB search.

RedWingFan are you using this on your music forum? Was trying to find examples of people using it, but having a hard time trying to find out if they are or not. Its a lot of work to get this installed on the forum, I want to make sure its worth it.

RedWingFan · #**714** 09-09-2009, 08:27 PM

Yes, we're using it, and aside from a few minor quirks (which I can't even remember right now), it is working great! I don't know if it helped server loads or not (we had to do several changes at once to get us out of our overloads), but it returns searches much faster than using vB's own built-in search.

I still with vB would develop something official for this. The built-in searching (using vB or fulltext) is just too hard on the server resources...

Believe me, it is worth the trouble.

i somehow managed to set it up was difficult for me cause it was with latest stable version of sphinx

I have 1 problem i can only search latest data
is the problem this line
$cl->SetLimits(0, $vbulletin->config['Sphinx']['limit'], 1000);

indexer --config /etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf --all

did not work for me

do you see anything strange below ?

If I am installing this on a vbulletin installation that is setup as follows what box would it go on?

1load balancer
4 web servers
1 master DB
1 slave DB

slave DB server would be your best bet.

It depends on the load on the two db servers. My guess would be that the least loaded in this configuration will be the master db server. Both master and slave are handling the same number of write (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) queries but the slave will be handling a load of reads too.

With a bit of scripting wrapping index copying (rsync probably) and restarting searchd you could generate the indexes on one machine and then copy them out to another one. This might be handy if you want to build some kind of redundancy into your setup or be able to balance sphinx traffic.

Raun · #**720** 10-21-2009, 02:32 PM

If I were to install it on both DBs would that work the same as copying the indexes?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
