利用Sphinx实现实时全文检索

Sphinx 0.9.9及以前的版本，原生不支持实时索引，一般的做法是通过主索引+增量索引的方式来实现“准实时”索引，最新的1.10.1（trunk中，尚未发布）终于支持real-time index，查看SVN中文档，我们很容易利用Sphinx搭建一个按需索引(on demand index)的全文检索系统。

参考文章：http://filiptepper.com/2010/05/27/real-time-indexing-and-searching-with-sphinx-1-10-1-dev.html

首先，从sphinxsearch的SVN下载最新的代码，编译安装：

svn checkout http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk sphinx
cd sphinx/
./configure --prefix=/path/to/sphinx
make
make install

编译没问题的话，在sphinx安装目录下的etc，建立sphinx.conf的配置文件，记得一定指定中文编码方面的配置搜索，否则中文会有问题：

index rt {
    # 指定索引类型为real-time index
    type = rt
    # 指定utf-8编码
    charset_type  = utf-8
    # 指定utf-8的编码表
    charset_table  = 0..9, A..Z->a..z, _, a..z, U+410..U+42F->U+430..U+44F, U+430..U+44F
    # 一元分词
    ngram_len = 1
    # 需要分词的字符
    ngram_chars   = U+3000..U+2FA1F
    # 索引文件保存地址
    path = /path/to/sphinx/data/rt
    # 索引列
    rt_field = message
    # 索引属性
    rt_attr_uint = message_id
}

searchd {
    log = /path/to/sphinx/log/searchd.log
    query_log = /path/to/sphinx/log/query.log
    pid_file = /path/to/sphinx/log/searchd.pid
    workers = threads
    # sphinx模拟mysql接口，不需要真正的mysql，mysql41表示支持mysql4.1~mysql5.1协议
    listen = 127.0.0.1:9527:mysql41
}

启动sphinx服务：

/path/to/sphinx/bin/searchd --config /path/to/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

插入几条数据看看：

ubuntu:chaoqun ~:mysql -h127.0.0.1 -P9527
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 1.10.1-dev (r2351)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> INSERT INTO rt VALUES (1, 'this message has a body', 1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO rt VALUES (2, '测试中文OK', 2);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql>

测试全文检索：

mysql> SELECT * FROM rt WHERE MATCH('message');
+------+--------+------------+
| id   | weight | message_id |
+------+--------+------------+
|    1 |   1643 |          1 |
+------+--------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM rt WHERE MATCH('OK');
+------+--------+------------+
| id   | weight | message_id |
+------+--------+------------+
|    2 |   1643 |          2 |
+------+--------+------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM rt WHERE MATCH('中');
+------+--------+------------+
| id   | weight | message_id |
+------+--------+------------+
|    2 |   1643 |          2 |
+------+--------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM rt WHERE MATCH('我');
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

简单方便，码完收工。
