Sphinx search is an alternate method to query database content. It's goal is to be fast and light weight.

root # emerge app-misc/sphinx

Copy the well commented configuration file into production location:

root # cp /etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf.dist /etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf

Set the database credentials to query:

/etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf (sql source code) - Change database to the database sphinx will be searching

sql_host		= localhost
	sql_user		= test
	sql_pass		=
	sql_db			= test
	sql_port		= 3306	# optional, default is 3306

To enable service, and start immediately:

root # rc-update add searchd default && rc
