Extension talk:SphinxSearch/Search suggestions

Clarification
Enchant isn't an extension but perhaps a application or package. Might also point out that aspell, ruby and rubygems (and gems install elif) is part of the enchant install. --Skunark 06:42, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. However, the way we use enchant does not require all of that. We are not using it to check English spelling. We are running it against a custom dictionary created out of the words actually in your wiki in order to find suggestions. Perhaps last time I installed it I did not realize I already had everything on my system already, and maybe those additional things are required. I will try installing it on a new system and will update the page with minimum requirements. Svemir Brkic 12:29, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Devel Version Required?
Is the "devel" version of enchant needed? --Cwood (talk) 22:05, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * No, devel version is not required. --Svemir Brkic (talk) 23:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Installation walkthrough
The installation instructions feel a little vague. I downloaded enchant with yast and then ran SphinxSearch_setup.php. I didn't see any dictionaries anywhere, though. Where are they generated? And should the dictionaries be referenced elsewhere after they're generated? I also enabled did $wgSphinxSuggestMode = 'enchant' in LocalSettings.php, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Can you provide more information about the installation process? Thanks! Cwood (talk) 19:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
