Sphinx vs AddSearch: What are the differences?

What is Sphinx? Open source full text search server, designed from the ground up with performance, relevance (aka search quality), and integration simplicity in mind. It lets you either batch index and search data stored in an SQL database, NoSQL storage, or just files quickly and easily — or index and search data on the fly, working with it pretty much as with a database server.

What is AddSearch? The almighty search platform for all your web content. We help your website visitors find what they are looking for. AddSearch is a lightning fast, accurate and customizable site search engine with a Search API. AddSearch works on all devices and is easy to install, customize and tweak.

Sphinx and AddSearch belong to "Search Engines" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Sphinx are:

• Output formats: HTML (including Windows HTML Help), LaTeX (for printable PDF versions), ePub, Texinfo, manual pages, plain text
• Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, citations, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
• Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children

On the other hand, AddSearch provides the following key features:

• Manage Search Results - Guide website visitors to the pages that matter most
• Analyze Search Intent - Your website is your main asset. Uncover what your visitors are searching for
• AddSearch for All Platforms - We support any platform from legacy systems to state of the art Single Page Applications
