Drupal Thursdays in Bulgaria

Starting from 20.01.2011, Propeople is organizing a "Drupal Thursdays" meetings in order to share our advanced Drupal knowledge with Drupal developers and anyone interested in Drupal.

Every Thursday evening invite you to join our team for discussion on various topics about Drupal.

Start time: 19:30
Location: Sofia, Pirin 40A street

Today's topic is “Drupal and full text search”. Rumen Yordanov, the Head of Open Source Department, will talk about what are the possibilities and compare Apache:Solr and Sphinx as solutions.

Hi folks! I've posted slides [PDF, 573K] and an example module [11.5K, Drupal 5] from my talk on integrating the Sphinx search engine with Drupal.

Following Yelvington I'm crossposting this to the following groups: SOC2008, Knight Foundation, Newspapers on Drupal and Search

One thing that would be really cool, is a module integrating http://www.sphinxsearch.com/ and Drupal. Our experience is that core search doesn't play nice when you have alot of nodes (we have 150.000+). Indexing simply kills the server.

So instead we use Sphinx. It's REALLY fast, both when searching and when indexing. BUT everytime we alter our content-types we have to manually reconfigure the sphinx configuration. This is why I propose this as a module for the SOC08 - a module that integrates Sphinxsearch and Drupal
