Do ASKBOT support sphinx search ?

I have noticed that some codes which are used to do the sphinx searching are commented.

    #        if getattr(settings, 'USE_SPHINX_SEARCH', False):
#            matching_questions = Question.sphinx_search.query(search_query)
#            question_ids = [q.id for q in matching_questions]
#            return qs.filter(posts__post_type='question', posts__deleted=False, posts__self_question_id__in=question_ids)

It was disabled because nobody seemed to be interested in the feature and the database structure changed (therefore the existing Sphinx script was not working any more).

Possibly a better solution would be to use apache Solr, we have not yet used it, but would like to fully support in Askbot. Solr supports full text search in many languages, unlike Sphinx or Postgresql.
