I'm running MediaWiki 1.24.1 on CentOS 6.8 with a sphinx version 2.0.8-1.el6.i686 RPM from EPEL and the same version of sphinx-php RPM also from EPEL. Pretty vanilla stuff, I figured.
I've followed the install instructions and the troubleshooting instructions... several times!
SphinxSearch works, sort of. As you type it auto-completes your search with suggestions that match Wiki page titles and if you click on a match the page loads. So far so good.
But when I type something like "ABC" (and I have a couple of pages that start with the letters ABC), I get a "...containing ABC" option. When I choose that option, I get a "Page not found".
Help!!! :)
