Fulltext Indexing Wikipedia with Sphinx
September 15th, 2007
So, earlier this year, I decided it would be cool to mirror Wikipedia. So, I successfully set up a local copy on my system, and it’s been just sitting there ever since. But lately, I’ve been interested in fulltext indexing offered by various indexing engines, and Sphinx has looked especially tasty. So, I figured I’d sit down and try it today.
I pointed it at my 16GB of Wikipedia text in my MySQL database.
