Hi,

I've being playing with sphinx and this module, and I have to say that all the process has being a little painful, as this module has no documentation, and I have not used sphinx before, setting up sphinx in a way that works with drupal and this module is not an easy task and requires several reading before you can make an idea of how to mix things together, besides the fact that the module doesn't works well as it is and require some code patches.
That is why I'm working on a patch to make it work well (which I refer in another issue request) and also I'm working on creating a series of articles to show in a concise way how to set up sphinx, how to configure it thinking in drupal, nodes, cck, etc and how to make it work with the module.
Also, I'll consider to create several enhancements to the module to make it a lot more easy to use and configure.
I'll post in this page when I get those articles.

I must say that the work made here is great and has several time dedicated to it, is just that the module still needs work and is a great idea, and that is why we have this community, to have people help each other and improve what everyone does here.

Looking forward to have something soon.

Best regards,
Nestor

Can you upload example of sphinx.conf with source and indexes for drupal 6.x database? This will greatly facilitate module reseach...
