Edwin Groothuis 96c3c9822a Development version of textproc/sphinxsearch
Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version
    2. Commercial license is also available for embedded use.

    Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast,
    size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other
    applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL
    databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources
    support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from
    an XML pipe.

    As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as
    SQL Phrase Index.
