  • We contacted Manticore’s free support on Slack with questions related to migrating form Sphinx search.
    In 30 minutes we had the first reply, and a few days later our issue was resolved, and we now using Manticore search to perform over 5 billion queries every day. read more

Manticore Search Indexes and document storage

Starting from v 3.2.0 Manticore Search introduced a new feature – Document Storage.

Historically Manticore Search was a text search engine which indexes texts but doesn’t keep the originals. A text is processed, transforming it from a plain string into special structures that form the full-text index, which allows fast text searching. In the result set, the user wasn’t receiving the original text, as recomposing it from the full-text index can be a complex process. In addition, indexation settings may include clauses that stop certain words from being indexed (like minimum word length or stopwords) which can make the reconstruction impossible. (more…)

Free config review

There are often optimizations that can be made to a Sphinx / Manticore setup by changing some simple directives in the configuration or making quick changes to an index definition.

Some common mistakes and issues can include:

  • doing main+delta without kill-lists, even if the delta does include updated records found in the main
  • using wildcarding with very short prefix/infix which can hammer performance in some cases
  • disabled (unintentional) seamless rotates and getting stalls on index rotations
  • adding texts as string attributes even if they are not using for any kind of operation (filtering, grouping, sorting) or mandatory to be present in results
  • using deprecated settings 

Having a quick look on the configuration can show issues or potential issues, this is why we want to offer a gift to our growing community!

When uploading your configuration file, we recommend to remove any database credentials first.

We suggest also you give as many possible details about your setup: how big is the data you have, how typical queries look and what issues you experience.
