Agreed. Elastic search is fantastic, but for simple search that needs to be fast Sphinx is hard to beat. I have been using it for years on searchcode.com and have never hit an issue with it that was not due to my own mistakes.
A fantastic piece of software.
Wow. What a great plug. Loving searchcode.com. Thank you for running such a great service! I have endless frustration trying to search Google or DDG for these things.
Thank you!
I had a look at the obvious things, by no means exhaustive -
but I hadn't heard of Sphinx, thanks for the suggestion.
