Is it possible to use Sphinx to search and only return things that match the document exactly? We are using it to basically do an existence search on a large table of restaurant names, and we only want results that match the full restaurant name exactly.
For instance, here's how we *want* it to work: - Index contains "old town spaghetti restaurant" and "spaghetti restaurant" - Search for: "spaghetti" should return *nothing* - Search for: "spaghetti restaurant" should return *only* the "spaghetti restaurant" document, not both documents. If I try this now, both of the searches above will return all the (2) results. We've tried using a delimiter when building the index, so that the name that we index becomes "DELIMITERspaghetti restaurantDELIMITER", and then our query code adds the "DELIMITER" string to both sides of its query, but this is a bit of an ugly hack, and if we decide down the road to take advantage of stemming or any of the more sophisticated featured in sphinx's query language, we'll be out of luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? I basically want to do the equivalent of a regex expression with the ^ and $: /^query$/ thanks, Cory --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
