With data on the web growing so fast, the topic “SEARCH” is as hot as it can get. Searching for products, related articles or tracking the user behavior through your site ramps up enormous amounts of data.
The Percona Live: MySQL User Conference is just around the corner! Before we begin our trek to San Jose, we want to provide you with one last announcement about our upcoming activities.
UltraCl@rity (yperdiavgeia.gr, vbanos.gr) is a search engine which is indexing all the documents published through the Cl@rity Greek open government program.
Until 2.1.1-beta the functions exposed in custom rankers for handling relevancy based on term frequency and Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) did not take field or document lengths into account. In 2.1.1-beta, Sphinx includes functions that take relevance ranking to the next level.
Lately, we’ve been spending a lot of time exploring how our community utilizes Sphinx. Some of you are running outrageously intense query volumes, some of you are searching and indexing extremely large data-sets, but the vast majority of you have creatively crafted genius business models around capabilities that only Sphinx can provide. All the while, you’ve been telling your search-stories on our ‘Powered By Sphinx‘ page!
It’s that time of year again. The annual migration of MySQL users will soon begin! In a little more than one month’s time, much of the MySQL ecosystem will be gathered at the Percona Live: MySQL User Conference and, as usual, you can expect an appearance from the Sphinx Team. Stop by booth 302 to meet a Sphinx in person!
We’ve got good news! Sphinx 2.1.1 includes (one of the features most anticipated by our community) built-in High Availability (HA) tools.
