You could ask Dmitry about his Sphinx engine integration.
I tried Sphinx myself a view weeks ago, but the lag of nice and easy write support out of
PHP applications made me turn to a full blown Solr based on Jetty. But the reason for
this mainly was that I wanted to use the index itself as the one and only persistence
layer, so having only rudimentary and not reliable write support here was a complete
no-go for me. If you only want to improve search speed, the automated "MySQL backend
to Sphinx" mechanism (Sphinx can read its source data out of a given MySQL table of
view or select query) might be perfectly fine for you.
So, maybe Dmitry reads here and is in mood to tell us a little about his Sphinx
setup.
I have Sphinx implementation at one project but I am not allowed to share.
Page search there was very simple. We were more interested in record
search. Sphinx does very well and it is very lightweight. It has a couple
of bugs (for example, dies at partial reindexing with data sets of about 5
million records).
If I were to start a new project, I would use Solr. It is more powerful and
more stable.
