Question

So I use sphinx search server (0.99) with Sphinx PHP PECL extension. I’ve configured searchd to pull data from my mysql database table. There is 419 records in that table.
code:

$s = new \SphinxClient;
$s->setServer("localhost", 9312);
$s->setMatchMode(SPH_MATCH_ANY);
$s->setMaxQueryTime(3);
$result = $s->query( '', 'my_index' );
die( print_r( $result ) );

So – total in the result says correct number: 419, but result “matches” only contain 20 or so numbers. I expected that “matches” would contain 419 primary key numbers…. unless I’m misunderstansding how sphinx works….

any help?

See the documentation for SetLimits, note the ‘defaults’ (the second paragraph is the most important)
