Sphinx Search Installation
The default search engine for Elgg had been causing performance issues, we have had to swap it out with Sphinx Search³.

Please follow instructions to install Sphinx Search on the server here https://github.com/tbs-sct/gcconnex/tree/gcconnex/mod/sphinx

For better performance, we implemented Sphinx Search Delta Index (optional)
