Hi Onno

That documentation is for v1/v2 of Thinking Sphinx, which added the to_crc32 
method to the String class. The implementation of that method uses zlib from 
Ruby’s standard library:
https://github.com/pat/thinking-sphinx/blob/v2/lib/thinking_sphinx/core/string.rb

Those older versions of the gem made heavy use of the CRC32 function (in Ruby 
and in MySQL/PostgreSQL), but with v3 I’ve found ways to avoid it completely 
(and as a bonus, doesn’t add any methods to the String class). Of course, if 
you wish to use it, the old implementation should give you some ideas on how to 
do that.

Cheers
