DESCRIPTION

       Sphinx is a collection of programs that aim to provide high quality fulltext search. searchd answers search requests coming in on a socket.

       This  manual  page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has docu-
       mentation in HTML format, see below.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.	For a complete description, see the HTML documentation.
