[Sputnik-list] Solved : For Sphinx full text search

[pierre pracht]

I have managed to make it work by unpacking "manually".
I may remove lpack dependency.

Nope, I wasn't aware of Xapian.
Visibly, Sphinx is nice in the way it can plug directly in mysql.
But it wouldn't help for sputnik

In Sphinx :

Query were sent over a socket
(code converted form python to lua 600 loc need to be tested)

Just need to write a form who will call :
require"sphinxapi"
local cl = sphinx.Sphinx.new()
local res = cl:Query(query)

Indexing can be done over a stdout of a program :
http://sphinxsearch.com/doc.html#xmlpipe

So you just have to write a custom template

Will remove lpack.

Work, code after get made due to previous error

Finally :
I make this adaptation of python code to learn lua.
I may try to make custom view and query form (but not yet)
Code is untested, just launched a test query.
Ideally I would convert test.lua in a command line utility, but getopt  
in lua is #@$/\

So Give it a try If you want...
