Thread:Extension talk:SphinxSearch/"Internal error: searchd error: unknown local index" in search results/reply (2)

Thanks so much! That solved the problem. I hadn't had to set that parameter in the previous version of SphinxSearch I was using.

I relied on your very thorough installation instructions on the Extension:SphinxSearch page. Thank you for those. I went back to look at them when I read your reply to see if I'd missed something. I didn't see $wgSphinxSearch_index among the options listed there. Between that and the error message, I'm thinking that means most people don't change the default custom index name "wiki_main" in the configuration file and so don't run into this problem. I probably shouldn't have either, but I thought I might at some point index more than one wiki, so I thought it best to customize it.

Thanks for your help - and this great extension!
