Thread:Extension talk:SphinxSearch/I installed SphinxSearch Extension using this tutorial - but it doesn't seem to be working

I installed SphinxSearch on Ubuntu server running MySQL/MediaWiki 1.21.2.

I know literally nothing about MySQL, so this entire process has taken ~1 month. But I'm positive I followed it to the best of my ability, and overcame all errors in the appropriate way. My question is, how do I confirm SphinxSearch is even working? When I start typing in my "search" box at the main page, nothing happens. But when I go the actual search PAGE and start typing in the "search" box, a drop-down list appears/updates in real-time with matches as to what I'm typing. But I'm 90% sure it did that before SphinxSearch already. I'd give you clues, but all I can really say right now is that I followed every step listed on this document except step 10. I also HAVE rebooted my server since. Where do I go from here?
