can't execute sphinx search command not found

Question

I have an Opensuse 13.2 operating system. Also I installed sphinx search engine. Everything was great till I tried to execute search command in terminal.

search: command not found

Before that I configured sphinx, executed indexer, executed searchd, all good.

Here is searchd output command:

vitalik-opensuse:/home/vitalik # searchd

Here is indexer output:

But I still can't execute search command to try searching via terminal. Sphinx version is 2.2.8, installed from opensuse-13.2-server-search-repository What I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Answer 1

The search tool no longer exists. It was removed a few versions ago.

Its long been broken, and not a realistic search experience.

Use test.php etc from the api folder to test searchd.
