Sphinx Search

I came across another option for the indexer. When indexing, there is a --merge option for the indexer, which will merge your delta indexes with your main indexes, rather than generating new indexes once per day. I have it running now where the indexes are regenerated once each night. Would there be any disadvantage to using merge? If it goes correctly, it should work just as well, since you have essentially the same indexes when you're finished. But I can also see a tiny opportunity for the main indexes to get corrupted. Otherwise, --merge takes less time and CPU cycles, which is attractive. http://www.sphinxsearch.com/docs/cur...#index-merging

moved/merged/edited/deleted posts are a huge reason to regenerate the whole index periodically.
