Different index types are well suited for different tasks. For example, a disk-based tree-based index would be easy to update (ie. insert new documents to existing index), but rather slow to search. Therefore, Sphinx architecture allows for different index types to be implemented easily.
-
The only index type which is implemented in Sphinx at the moment is designed for maximum indexing and searching speed. This comes at a cost of updates being really slow; theoretically, it might be slower to update this type of index than than to reindex it from scratch.

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial licensing is also available upon request. Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data source drivers support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, PostgreSQL, or from a pipe in a custom XML format. As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU's Sphinx project.
