    Hi all,

    I came across this tonight via the Unmediated blog. Interesting stuff. --

    Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2.
    Commercial license is also available for embedded use.
    Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast,
    size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other
    applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL
    databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources support
    fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from an XML pipe.
    As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL
    Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU's Sphinx project.
