Hi Peter,
The problem isn't that Sphinx does not have any search results, the problem is that Sphinx will not return the string values from the database, so a separate query is required to retrieve the results based on the search data.

Does that make sense?

I was thinking about doing the same and I wasn't sure if It would be better. I have many mysql indexes and many filters. Excellent.

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. Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2.
