IPS4 - New Search Index vs Sphinx

Featured Replies

Posted

IPS4 now utilizes a new search index that creates a new table with indexes that is almost the same size of our post table. One disadvantage of this is that our board database will get a lot bigger.

Can you tell the advantages and disadvantages of this new approach compared to IPB3 and Sphinx?

Was the Sphinx option removed all together?  100% agree on the database size issue as that is why many Vb users switched.  I do not need a 4GB database to turn in to 7GB just because of search.

Thanks

Note...It took 14 seconds to make that post.

You can still use Sphinx with IPS4. Although the configuration this time is different from IPB3, so im waiting the documention of it.

So it is not as simple as turning it ON like it was.  If that is the case, that is a BIG OPPS!

​It was never that simple... Sphinx support has always required you configure Sphinx. Otherwise Sphinx doesn't know what to Sphinx unless you tell Sphinx what to Sphinx.
