[consulting] Need a Drpual consultant to write a custom Search module

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Solr is another option, as well as xapian. All are external search engines,
all are fast. All require integration too.

In this case, Sphinx has an advantage: it hooks into MySQL tables natively.

Which makes it worth checking first for this project.
