Description
----------------------------------
Plugin for Vanilla/Garden to enable fulltext search. This is in a very early stage, and if it helps someeone
great, if it doesnt, I'm sorry... If you have any feedback, suggestions, changes or additions I would be most
greatful.


Misc Notes
----------------------------------
This plugin utilises the existing search SearchDocument table for Vanilla/Garden for providing search results.


Installation
----------------------------------
You will need to install sphinx (http://www.sphinxsearch.com/), I am testing with 0.9.9-release.

Limited configuration can be done through the Vanilla/Garden Dashboard (Plugins -> SphinxSearch -> Settings)

A sample sphinx config file is provided (sphinx.conf.sample)

I have sphinx installed in: /usr/local/sphinx

Then, the following folder structure:

/home/mysite/public_html/.......... <-- Vanilla/Garden Install

/home/mysite/sphinx/
/home/mysite/sphinx/sphinx.conf     <-- Sphinx Config

/home/mysite/sphinx/data/search/    <-- Sphinx Data Files
/home/mysite/sphinx/data/search/    <-- Sphinx Data Files
/home/mysite/sphinx/log/            <-- Sphinx Log/PID Files


Usage
----------------------------------
Install the plugin into Vanilla/Garden, setup your sphinx.conf, you will need to replace %%DATAPATH%% with 
where ever you are planning on storing your config, log and data files.
