• Google-style results (Results are shown in traditional Google-style: title, snippet and address (document path).)
• Filtering by namespaces (Click on namespaces in the results to see search only within chosen namespace, or simply use “ “search phrase @ns personal:mike:travel”)
• Document sections are indexed separately (This is very useful for those who have large pages in DokuWiki)
• Additional scripts for cron and systemd for modern Linux distributions.

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

See DokuWiki Sphinx Installation Instructions.

• Sphinx Search v2.x: http://www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads.html
  • Debian-based distributions can most likely install the package sphinxsearch via the package manager.
• PHP >= 7.x with SQLite extension (it is enabled by default as of PHP 5)

The recent installation requires a Linux operating system that uses systemd for script management and has a crontab setup that uses /etc/cron.* directories as time divisions. The setup is targeted mainly at the Debian family of Linux distributions (ie: should be applicable flawlessly to Ubuntu).

• Use Extension Manager, or alternatively unpack plugin files into lib/plugins directory of your DokuWiki installation.

• Copy the file from contrib/cron.daily/sphinx-rotate-grimore into the system folder at /etc/cron.daily/ - the file must be edited to adjust the variable at the top of the script $PATH_TO_PLUGIN_DIRECTORY to point to the directory of the plugin. The file itself sphinx-rotate-grimore placed in cron.daily will ensure that your search is updated on a daily basis. Other candidates include other cron directories with self explanatory names such as /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.monthly, etc. If so desired, you can rename the file sphinx-rotate-grimore to any name you like. Finally, ensure that the file is made executable (for instance, by issuing the command chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/sphinx-rotate-grimore).

• Copy the file from contrib/etc/systemd/system/sphinx-searchd-grimore.service into /etc/systemd/system and edit it such that the path /var/www/grimore.org/lib/plugins/sphinxsearch points to the sphinxsearch directory under your lib/plugins folder of the DokuWiki installation.

• Issue the commands in sequence:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable sphinx-searchd-grimore
systemctl start sphinx-searchd-grimore

to enable the Sphinx searchd service and start it.

In case the wiki to be installed to contains very long pages then it may be necessary to bump the memory allowance of PHP. A manifestation of this problem would be noticed by searching for for a term that is contained within a very long page. The search will take a significant amount of time and would yield a blank page.

This is solved by increasing PHP memory limit - you can use one of the following ways:

a) using php.ini

	memory_limit = 1024M

b) inside php script

	ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M');

c) using .htaccess file

	php_value memory_limit "1024M"
