Look, the Sphinx blog is almost dead. You can try to fix it, and bring the blog to a state at least half-dead.
What would be interesting to read? Tutorials for very beginners not to offer, I can not.
For the seed, and at the same time in order spam. Everyone already knows that a fresh Sphinx can pretend to be a mysql server, and do you really don’t need any API? Everyone already knows that queries can now be written in the form of a SELECT * FROM index WHERE MATCH ('test')? Everyone already knows how easy and natural it is to make hints and / or auto-correcting words? Everyone already knows that finally an open repository has appeared for the most fearless? :)
