README

This is a fork. With updated service methods to cover more in the sphinx api.

Installation:

1. Download the bundle
2. Configure the bundle

Step 1: Download the bundle

How you actually download the bundle is entirely up to you. The easiest way is to grab it from packagist.org.

Step 2: Configure the bundle

sphinxsearch:
    indexes:
        Categories: %sphinxsearch_index_categories%
        Items:      %sphinxsearch_index_items%
    searchd:
        host:   %sphinxsearch_host%
        port:   %sphinxsearch_port%
        socket: %sphinxsearch_socket%
    indexer:
        bin:    %sphinxsearch_indexer_bin%

At least one index must be defined, and you may define as many as you like.

In the above sample configuration, Categories is used as a label for the index named %sphinxsearch_index_categories% (as defined in your sphinxsearch.conf). This allows you to avoid having to hard code raw index names inside of your code.

Usage examples:

The most basic search, using the above configuration as an example, would be:

$indexesToSearch = array('Items');
$sphinxSearch = $this->get('search.sphinxsearch.search');
$searchResults = $sphinxSearch->search('search query', $indexesToSearch);

This performs a search for search query against the index labeled Items. The results of the search are stored in $searchResults.

You can also perform more advanced searches, such as:

$indexesToSearch = array('Items');
$options = array(
  'result_offset' => 0,
  'result_limit' => 25,
  'field_weights' => array(
    'Name' => 2,
    'SKU' => 3,
  ),
);
$sphinxSearch = $this->get('search.sphinxsearch.search');
$sphinxSearch->setMatchMode(SPH_MATCH_EXTENDED2);
$sphinxSearch->setFilter('disabled', array(1), true);
$searchResults = $sphinxSearch->search('search query', $indexesToSearch, $options);

This would again search Items for search query, but now it will only return up to the first 25 matches and weight the Name and SKU fields higher than normal. Note that in order to define a result_offset or a result_limit, you must explicitly define both values. Also, this search will use the Extended query syntax, and exclude all results with a disabled attribute set to 1.
