-For the plugin itself:
+# SphinxSearch
 
-* The plugin needs to be configured and sphinx.conf generated (either by the plugin or manually).
-* If running for the first time, the indexer needs to be run manually (/path/to/indexer --config /path/to/sphinx.conf --all).
-* Either start searchd manually as the web user (/path/to/searchd --config /path/to/sphinx.conf) or let the task start it for you.
-* run-periodic-tasks needs to be running to update the indexes (and start searchd automatically if needed).
+The SphinxSearch plugin enhances the search feature in Movable Type by adding
+extensive support for full-text indices. It integrates the Sphinx server with
+Movable Type to provide full-text searches across various objects in Movable
+Type.
+
+## What is Sphinx?
+
+Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2.
+Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast,
+size-efficient and relevant full-text search functions to other applications.
+
+Currently built-in data source drivers support fetching data either via direct
+connection to MySQL, or from a pipe in a custom XML format.
+
+The native Sphinx search API is available for PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Java
+amongst other programming languages. As the Movable Type core is primarily
+written in Perl, the plugin uses the Perl API via the corresponding CPAN
+module to communicate with the Sphinx search service.
