Honestly that is a huge part of the problem with using Sphinx with Invision's stuff: they don't use Sphinx, and rarely have to search their own board. So they don't get what all the fuss is about, and they don't test it very well before releasing new versions. There are a lot of really nice improvements one could make to the board's searches if you are running real search engine instead of just doing an SQL fulltext search: that includes sorting results by a weighting function.

So I've spent the past week learning how sphinx weighting works and IPB doesn't support it?

Nice.

Maybe I'll be able to use it for a job sometime.

i have a question, is there any wait to get "my content" not to use nginx? i had a really fun moment tracking why that area was not updating :S

not sure how nginx would even matter unless its cacheing page. maybe set some ignore rule for module=search&do=followed ?
using sphinx and I use mysql for vew new content and it all seems to work fine for me but not using nginx.

wow, i mixed threads in words in one post :S

are you using mysql for the view new content?
I thought, and I may be wrong, that section was all driven off that.

thats how I am setup and my content updates immediately.....when I remember to check the option LOL
was testing to see if I could duplicate issue and found NOTHING worked...sphinx or mysql....then I remembered I had not checked the auto follow option :P

lol, well i had sphinx enabled and forgot the cron threads so "my content" was not updating :S

yup that'll do it :)

sorry but you meant that the cron will keep "my content" updated? right, i that part was my mistake, but just to be sure:
a) there is no way to use SQL in instead of sphinx for this ?
b) the data will get updated every cron job run, not instant, right?

my content and new content is updated instanlty for me, make sure you set view new content to use mysql in your acp.
everything else will be driven off the cron times.
