Sphinx Search is a package for Laravel 4 which queries Sphinxsearch and integrates with Eloquent.
Add scalia/sphinxsearch to composer.json.
"scalia/sphinxsearch": "dev-master"
Run composer update to pull down the latest version of Sphinx Search.
Now open up app/config/app.php and add the service provider to your providers array.
'providers' => array(
'Scalia\SphinxSearch\SphinxSearchServiceProvider',
)
Now add the alias.
'aliases' => array(
'SphinxSearch' => 'Scalia\SphinxSearch\SphinxSearchFacade',
)
To use Sphinx Search, you need to configure your indexes and what model it should query. To do so, publish the configuration into your app.
php artisan config:publish scalia/sphinxsearch
This will create the file app/config/packages/scalia/sphinxsearch/config.php. Modify as needed the host and port, and configure the indexes, binding them to a table and id column.
return array (
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => 9312,
'indexes' => array (
'my_index_name' => array ( 'table' => 'my_keywords_table', 'column' => 'id' ),
)
);
Or disable the model querying to just get a list of result id's.
return array (
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => 9312,
'indexes' => array (
'my_index_name' => FALSE,
)
);
Basic query
$results = SphinxSearch::search('my query')->get();
Query another Sphinx index with limit and filters.
$results = SphinxSearch::search('my query', 'index_name')
->limit(30)
->filter('attribute', array(1, 2))
->range('int_attribute', 1, 10)
->get();
