Sorry for being a total dunce but..

Does the Sphinx search display its results in an "in line" VB format? (so that in line moderation actions may be applied to selected results?)

Reason I ask is - right now I have Google custom search + the regular VB search + TAG search..

Newbies probably just use the Google CS as its the first box in the drop down menu - but that doesnt give moderators any tools to work with the results and do any 'in line' moderation (merging, renaming, changing prefixes, tagging etc)

Power users probably use both..

Regular users are probably confused about what to use...

The Google Custom Search is great for searching phrases

But its not a very clear solution with the various options - its a bit irksome that I may have to write a how to search guide that advises when to use what search engine..:down:

2 + million posts - is it time for Sphinx?

Is it a good 'all in one solution with an "in line" moderation functionality?

Server speed / load isn't an issue here, my quest is purely to improve search quality for the forum members.

Thanks in advance.. Sorry if this butts in... or is OT.

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