Migrating from Sphinx 3.3.1

General Discussions - English

Currently running Sphinx 3.3.1 on a Ubuntu box. Considering migrating to Manticore. Most docs/posts are quite old.

  1. Is this a drop in replacement (i.e. change the apps and use the current config file and indexes)?
  2. Is it possible to run Sphinx and Manticore side by side?

Thanks

  1. No, it’s not a drop-in replacement. The index formats are different. And there’s a converter tool (https://manticoresearch.com/downloads/), but only to convert Sphinx 2 to Manticore 3, not Sphinx 3 (since it’s not open source). But the query syntax is mostly identical, so you might need to only slightly change your app.

  2. Yes, it’s possible to run Sphinx and Manticore side by side. Just use separate paths and ports in your configuration files.
