Description : Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2.
: Commercial licensing (e.g. for embedded use) is also available upon request.
:
: Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast,
: size-efficient and relevant full-text search functions to other
: applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL
: databases and scripting languages.
:
: Currently built-in data source drivers support fetching data either via
: direct connection to MySQL, or PostgreSQL, or from a pipe in a custom XML
: format. Adding new drivers (e.g. native support other DBMSes) is
: designed to be as easy as possible.
:
: Search API native ported to PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, and also
: available as a plug-gable MySQL storage engine. API is very lightweight so
: porting it to new language is known to take a few hours.

: Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU's Sphinx project.
