I have a list of keywords that I need to search against, using ThinkingSphinx Some of them being more important than others, i need to find a way to weight those words.

I have documentation in ReSt (UTF8) and I'm using sphinx to generate HTML and latex files. (No issues with html conversion) I then want to convert the resulting latex file to PDf. Currently I'm using MiKTeX 2.7's pdflatex.exe command to perfom this conversion. (Converting a source file without Japanese characters produces the expected...
I am aware of the command to start the sphinx daemon manually. I use a rake task: "rake thinking_sphinx:start" Is it possible to have it start whenever my rails application loads so I don't have to manually type in the command every time? ...

Is there a way to automatically generate an image/figure caption using sphinx? I currently have rest-sphinx files I'm converting to html and (latex)pdf using sphinx. I'd like an easy way for users to reference a specific image in the resulting html/pdf files. For example, if a user is refering to the documentation in an email, "In 'Ima...
I'm attempting to using Sphinx in my CMS as a sitewide search. Since each model in the CMS has different fulltext fields, I've created an index per model. However, according to Sphinx's forum, searching over multiple indexes with different schema is not supported. How are you CMS guys using Sphinx for your general site search? Perfor...
Sphinx is a new documentation tool for Python. It looks very nice. What I'm wondering is: How suitable this is for documenting a C++ project? Are there any tools for converting existing documentation (e.g. doxygen) to Sphinx format? Are there online/downloadable examples of C++ projects that use Sphinx? Any tips from anyone who has use...
Assume I'm indexing a table of books. They have title, author, description, etc. I want to do a search across all fields and return the title of the books that contain my search term. I can do a search and return the book_id (doc_id) from Sphinx so I can look them up myself, but what would be really awesome is if Sphinx just gave me the...

With other doc generator I managed generating the single html output and then converting it to the Microsoft Word format using the Word applicatio...
I'm using sphinx to list me some items from my database here. It's almost 100%, I just haven't figured out yet how to create an OR between two different filters. For example: My Object in the database has a starting and an ending date, I can filter(starting_date, x, y) and filter(ending_date,x,y), but both filters will have to return tr...
I'm using thinking sphinx to for search on a rails app. I have a float field called 'height'. I need to be able to search this field for exact values (i.e. exactly 6.0, not 6.5). I also need to be able to sort on the field. What I have so far: indexes height, :sortable => true Problem: doesn't sort properly, returns 6.0 and 6.5...
This is admittedly similar to (but not a duplicate of) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/737275/pros-cons-of-full-text-search-engine-lucene-sphinx-postgresql-full-text-search, however what I am looking for are specific, supported, recommendations from the benefit of experience with more than one of the available systems (there seems to ...
I'm looking into implementing full text search on our Firebird database. Our requirements are: Every field in several tables should be indexed. When a result is found we should be able to find out the originating table. The index can be stored in the database or in the file system. The results of the search (BigInt primary keys) must b...
I am using the great Thinking Sphinx plugin for accessing Sphinx Search in RoR 2.2.3. I have a cache table that stores pre-compiled views. This is the source data table for Sphinx. However, the ID column on this table is basically garbage, and the ID that I want is stored in another column (cacheable_id). How can I setup Thinking Sphin...
On a Rails project, I'm using Sphinx together with Thinking Sphinx plugin. I index a table with an attribute :foo that is a float. My desired behaviour when sorting for column :foo would be that nil values always appear at the end of the list, e.g. id; foo (order foo desc) ------- 1; 5 2; 3 3; -4 4: -5 5: nil 6: nil id; foo (order f...
I am using Sphinx with the Thinking Sphinx plugin to search my data. I am using MySQL. My data contains accented chars ("á", "é", "ã") and I want them to be equivalent to their non-accented counterparts ("a", "e", "a", for example) when searching and ordering. I got the search working using a charset table (pastie.org/204316), and a se...
MySQL's default fulltext search sucks when the data volume is big. So I'm counting on sphinx to get rid of the trouble. Is there a benchmark data available that compares these two kinds of searches? ...

So after reading the docs, what I am trying is, in my conf.py, I put a line like, templates_path = ['_templates'] and I created a file _templates/page.html But this does not override the default template provided by sphinx. What more should I do, and where does this template need to go? ...
