It means that you can dump a lot of text "documents" into it (based on
html pages, database records, actual documents, etc). sphinx efficiently
indexes all the text in it, and then allows you to retrieve it again,
supporting things that are useful for searching in text such as stemming.
It can use MySQL but this isn't needed to use it.
It should be able to help you with the task you want to solve, although
I'm not familiar with the capabilities of the Sphinx-Search front-end/
binding.
Kind regards,
Hans
