+Sphinx indexes Vanilla's database and stores attributes that are used to filter the results such as author, title, comment count, category name, etc. Sphinx then returns a document ID which is then used in a typical MYSQL query to retrieve the meat and potatoes of it such as last comment ID, category URL code, etc. Almost all searches are returned instantly (<12ms).
 
 Sphinx requires indexing, which is why cron tasks should be used on your server to run periodically. You can always manually index in the control panel for testing purposes. The 'Main' index will read the discussions and comments table in your database. The 'Delta' will do the same thing, except it will only pickup the ones since the last index was performed. Sphinx will search through both indexes, so you should index 'Delta' frequently and 'Main' during non-peak hours.
