Migrating from Sphinx
In this article we talk about how to upgrade from Sphinx.
Manticore Search is a fork from Sphinx Search 2.3. While many portions of the code have been refactored and improved, there is no breaking change that require a major effort to upgrade from Sphinx. In most cases, the upgrade procedure is the same as upgrading between minor Sphinx versions, which mostly consist in just replacing the binary executables.
