Hi Uma indexer is the tool that accesses sources of data (SQL and XML) to create the index files for Sphinx. searchd then refers to these files while it runs (as a daemon), and it is what handles all of the search queries.
Thinking Sphinx abstracts both of these away for you though, if that's what you're thinking of using. The documentation should help a bit more. http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/sphinx_basics.html -- Pat On 16/08/2011, at 10:30 PM, Uma Mahesh Nyros wrote: > Thank You Peterson, I have run the command "which indexer" and got the output > as "/user/local/bin/indexer". > > What are these "indexer" and "searchd".. ? > > Thank You, > Uma Mahesh. > > > On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 4:59 PM, Pat Allan <[email protected]> wrote: > Sphinx doesn't have an executable called 'sphinx' - the two main ones you > will use are 'indexer' - for indexing the data - and 'searchd', which handles > the search requests. > > Try `which indexer`. > > -- > Pat > > On 16/08/2011, at 9:25 PM, Uma Mahesh Nyros wrote: > > > Thank You very much Peterson.. > > > > I have installed sphnix in ubuntu.. by url : > > http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/2.0.1/quick-tour.html > > > > But when i try to know the path where it was installed in my system by > > "whereis sphinx" it was not showing the path where it was installed.
