DESCRIPTION
       Sphinx  is  a  collection  of  programs that aim to provide high quality fulltext search. indexer fetches all documents from the configured
       sources and creates the index data files.

       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.

       --config  Specify an alternate configuration file to use.

       --all	 Causes indexer to (re-)index all indexes, instead of the specified ones.

       --quiet	 Suppress all non-error output.

       --noprogress
		 Suppress progress information.

       -h	    --help
		 Show summary of options.

       --rotate  Writes index data files as INDEX.new files and sends a SIGHUP to searchd, causing it to rotate the index files.

SEE ALSO
       search (1), searchd (1).

       Sphinx and it's programs are documented fully by the Spinx reference manual available in /usr/share/doc/sphinxsearch.
