Description-en: Fast standalone full-text SQL search engine
Sphinx is a standalone full text search engine, meant to provide fast,
size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications.
Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and
scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources support fetching data
either via direct connection to MySQL or PostgreSQL, or using XML pipe
mechanism (a pipe to indexer in special XML-based format which Sphinx
recognizes).
.
Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index.
