-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-4068 2011-03-25 06:41:16 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sphinx Product : Fedora 15 Version : 0.9.9 Release : 6.fc15 URL : http://sphinxsearch.com Summary : Free open-source SQL full-text search engine 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. to natively support some other DBMSes) is designed to be as easy as possible. Search API is natively ported to PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, and also available as a pluggable MySQL storage engine. API is very lightweight so porting it to new language is known to take a few hours. As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU's Sphinx project. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to MySQL 5.5.10, for various fixes described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-10.html Add tmpfiles.d config file so that /var/run/mysqld is recreated at boot.
