Hi Pat- I do have sphinx only running on one server, my database server. I don't want to use delayed deltas because i need to have the search available right away for a couple of things.
What I have is an index that isnt' updated all that often, but when it is it needs to be available right away. What I have now is working well, but the issue was with the rotate...or my lack of understanding anyway. When I do the rotate it seems like the old index is still available. If i change the name for example on my Buyer model i can search by the old name or the new name until the full index is done...this is done every hour. Is rotate supposed to clear out the old index or will they both be available until a full index occurs? I figured the rotate would add the new index and the old one would be gone, but that may not be true. Thanks.
