+To use a Sphinx server to search users and notices, you'll need to

-You can update your MySQL or Postgresql databases to drop their fulltext
-search indexes, since they're now provided by sphinx.

-On the sphinx server side, a script reads the main database and build
-the keyword index. A cron job reads the database and keeps the sphinx

-to start and stop the sphinx search daemon.
