Sphinx Search Gives Zero Result - linux

Question

Hi just installed Sphinx on my CentOS VPS.. But for some reason whenever I search, it gives me no result.. I'm using ssh for searching.. Here is the command
search --index sphinx_index_cc_post -a Introducing The New Solar Train Tunnel
This is the output of command
Sphinx 2.0.5-release (r3308)

using config file '/usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf'...
index 'sphinx_index_cc_post': query 'Introducing The New Solar Train Tunnel ': returned 0 matches of 0 total in 0.000 sec
words:
1. 'introducing': 0 documents, 0 hits
2. 'the': 0 documents, 0 hits
3. 'new': 0 documents, 0 hits
4. 'solar': 0 documents, 0 hits
5. 'train': 0 documents, 0 hits
6. 'tunnel': 0 documents, 0 hits
This is my index in config file
source sphinx_index_cc_post
{
type = mysql
sql_host = localhost
sql_user = user
sql_pass = password
sql_db = database
sql_port = 3306
sql_query_range = SELECT MIN(postid),MAX(postid) FROM cc_post
sql_range_step = 1000
sql_query = SELECT postedby, category, totalvotes, trendvalue, featured, isactive, postingdate \
FROM cc_post \
WHERE postid BETWEEN $start AND $end
}
index sphinx_index_cc_post
{
source = sphinx_index_cc_post
path = /usr/local/sphinx/data/sphinx_index_cc_post
charset_type = utf-8
min_word_len = 2
}
The index seems to work fine, when I rotate the index, I successfully get the documents. Here is the result of my indexer
[root#server1 data]# indexer --rotate sphinx_index_cc_post

I also tried removing attributes but no luck!! I'm guessing either its some config problem of query issue

Answer 1

Your query is:
SELECT postedby, category, totalvotes, trendvalue, featured, isactive, postingdate \
FROM cc_post
from column names, I guess you don't have full text in any of those columns. Are you missing the column that contains text?
