Very useful and flexible software when comes down dealing efficiently

I like that it is simple to learn how powerful this tool can be for all types of searches, from general queries through complex data munging tasks with many facets within one query! It's also very easy (once you get used) since there are no learning curves involved -- just start using sphinx straight away without having any previous experiences or skills in search tools/techniques etc.. The only thing which could have been improved more would probably involve some sort if documentation as we…

Pros
  • Very flexible indexer engine.
  • Multiple indexes per document type supported via multiple engines including fulltext indexing,
  • Faceted searching capabilities both server side AND client wise; ) Full text extraction support alongwith regular keyword matching functionality across various database formats available today., (and lot other stuff!)
Cons
  • No real integration options yet between PHP libraries supporting MySQL+MongoDB databases together

One Stop Solution Where Every Single Information Under A Same Roof

This tool is easy to use, it's free for personal accounts too! It has an amazing feature of suggesting you what documents that are similar with your search query as results in SERP (Search Engine Result Page). You can also share them via email or social media channels like Twitter & Facebook by hitting "Share" icon at top right corner which helps me alot while solving my research papers problems! There was no major issues I faced using this software so far but sometimes some terms do not get…

Pros
  • Very simple interface
  • Searching ability within same database
  • Ease Of Use
Cons
  • Slow indexing time

Sphnix looks good and does much better than expected

I like that it has many different ways to search, such as text or images (including voice). The interface is fairly easy for people without programming knowledge but also gives you options if needed by adding more plugins/widgets at your own risk of breaking things! It's not free so make sure there are no other alternatives before going this route otherwise its probably just easier with another tool in mind - even something open source would do fine here since they have documentation available…

Pros
  • I like the search options available, how it's easy to use and the simple interface for searching through a product list or a product catalogs
Cons
  • I do not like that it's not free and that it has to have a search
