eZ components is an enterprise ready general purpose PHP platform. As a collection of high quality independent building blocks for PHP application development eZ components will both speed up development and reduce risks. What is interesting with eZcomponents is that it's developped for the future, currently require PHP 5.1 and the locale package will require a Unicode enabled version of PHP and so probably PHP 6.

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data source drivers support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, PostgreSQL, or from a pipe in a custom XML format.

What is great with Sphinx that it came with a pure-PHP searchd client API, this will make its integration with PHP application much more easier. In addition to many features that make Sphinx a very interesting alternative to an open source SQL full-text search engine.

Key features Sphinx :

  • high indexing speed (upto 10 MB/sec on modern CPUs)
  • high search speed (avg query is under 0.1 sec on 2-4 GB text collections)
  • high scalability (upto 100 GB of text, upto 100 M documents on a single CPU)
  • supports distributed searching (since v.0.9.6)
  • supports MySQL natively (MyISAM and InnoDB tables are both supported)
  • supports phrase searching
  • supports phrase proximity ranking, providing good relevance
  • supports English and Russian stemming
  • supports any number of document fields (weights can be changed on the fly)
  • supports document groups
  • supports stopwords
  • supports different search modes ("match all", "match phrase" and "match any" as of v.0.9.5)
  • generic XML interface which grealy simplifies custom integration
  • pure-PHP (ie. NO module compiling etc) searchd client API
Current Sphinx distribution includes the following software:
  • indexer: an utility to create fulltext indices;
  • search: a simple (test) utility to query fulltext indices from command line;
  • searchd: a daemon to search through fulltext indices from external software (such as Web scripts);
  • sphinxapi: a set of API libraries for popular Web scripting languages (currently, PHP);
