Yeah, thats the hard part of using sphinx. You can pass it data thats
not from a database in a xml format, but someone would have to create
the script that scrapes this data, puts it in the right xml format and
feeds it to sphinx. 

So, thats not likely as easy as xiapan and it's crawler, but on the
other hand it's very easy for the wiki.
