New version of the plugin is released. Get it here:

http://mahara.org/view/view.php?id=17706

PostgreSQL is now supported. There are also other improvements and bugfixes so existing installations should be upgraded. See the included README file for instructions.

Hi,

I would like full text search abilities within Mahara, is it possible to get this working with Mahara 1.7?

Hello David,

We are working on getting fulltext search into Mahara 1.8 (initially for PostgreSQL databases). To get powerful fulltext search and facetting, we are using ElasticSearch.

Cheers

Hi everyone.

I've installed Sphinx search on my server with searchd program, compiled the sources etc... setting up the plugin and so on.

But how can I verify the plugin is working fine?

When I switch between sphinx and internal search engine, I can't see any difference between them.

(When I set up the Sphinx plugin as default search engine and then I go back to the "Admin Panel", the default search engine (internal) is displayed instead of Sphinx plugin).

There is a bug in site options:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/809228

You can ensure that Sphinx is actually being used by checking the query log.  Location of the log file is defined in sphinx.conf, default is /var/local/sphinx/query.log

# cat /var/log/sphinx/query.log

The file is empty.

I'll try to fix it.
