Answer 1

Sphinx will only return the document id, weight and attributes. Use MySQL to get the rest of the values.

1. Do a Sphinx search, which will give you a list of document IDs
2. For every document ID, do a MySQL query which gives you the values for all fields.

Answer 2

I think there are some tricks could be used for the problem.

1. if the column is not included in fulltext search, you could add it into attr entry. e.g. for field name and age, in xmlpipe2 source config file, you could add these in the index part:

   xmlpipe_attr_string = name
   xmlpipe_attr_uint = age
   

2. if the column is included in fulltext search, you could add it into attr entry and field entry the same time. e.g. for field intro, in xmlpipe2 source config file, you could add these in the index part:

   xmlpipe_field = intro
   xmlpipe_attr_string = intro
