Great!

Regarding, "It has it’s own index, that is updated each hour":
Does it mean that it takes about 30 minutes (average) before the content of a new message is indexed & can be found?

Correct Peter. Sorry, that is one trade off for magnificent performance. Moderator searches, ie user posts and so on, will not go thru Sphinx though. Just messages/posts.

The instructions are all in the sphinx distribution. Check the SMF forums for more details.

The forum search at Joomla is oddly fast considering how large the database must be.

Yes, due to the custom index we use. (Sphinx search)
