indexer — fulltext index generator

SYNOPSIS¶

indexer [--config CONFIGFILE] [--rotate] [ --noprogress | --quiet ] [--all | INDEX ... ] indexer --buildstops OUTPUTFILE COUNT [--config CONFIGFILE ] [--noprogress | --quiet ] [ --all | INDEX ... ] indexer --merge MAIN_INDEX DELTA_INDEX [--config CONFIGFILE ] [--rotate] [--noprogress | --quiet ]

DESCRIPTION¶

Sphinx is a collection of programs that aim to provide high quality fulltext search. indexer fetches all documents from the configured sources and creates the index data files. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format, see below.

OPTIONS¶

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the HTML documentation.

--config

Specify an alternate configuration file to use.

--all

Causes indexer to (re-)index all indexes, instead of the specified ones.

--quiet

Suppress all non-error output.

--noprogress

Suppress progress information.

-h --help

Show summary of options.

--rotate

Writes index data files as INDEX.new files and sends a SIGHUP to searchd, causing it to rotate the index files.

SEE ALSO¶

search (1), searchd (1). Sphinx and it's programs are documented fully by the Spinx reference manual available in /usr/share/doc/sphinxsearch.
