Introduction to Search with Sphinx

This is a good article to introduce the basic searching methods. This book also includes; the basic indexing, ranking function as know as BM25.

I read the book only after I created an application which indexes a very large (1TB) PostgreSQL database. I also have 10 years of experience with Oracle*Text under my belt.

Introduction to Search with Sphinx is a short (127 pages in the e-book edition) text describing some of the potential uses for the Sphinx search server. After a brief exposition on the "world of text search", which defines some search-related terms and concepts, it's off to install Sphinx and perform required configuration, then delving into running searches, index maintenance and ranking results.
