could read the version on 2,117 of the 2,117 sites running Sphinx. The shares below are of those sites. | Version | Sites | Share | | --- | --- | --- | | **9.1.0** | 338 | 16.0% | | 9.0.4 | 196 | 9.3% | | 8.2.3 | 153 | 7.2% | | 8.1.3 | 142 | 6.7% | | 1.8.5 | 135 | 6.4% | ## About Sphinx ### At a glance - **Website:** sphinx-doc.org ↗ - **Language:** Python - **License:** BSD-2-Clause - **First release:** 2008-01-01 Start with a warning that matters more than any statistic on this page. The name Sphinx belongs to at least two well known pieces of software: a full text search server used behind database driven sites, and a documentation generator from the Python world that stamps its identity into every page it builds. Our record holds a single Python value for the name, and no single value covers both projects. The two leave traces on the public web, and traces are what we index. We publish what we detect and label it under Documentation rather than pretend the ambiguity away. If your question concerns search infrastructure, filter the export against the other signals recorded on the same domains, because a documentation site and a search backend look nothing alike once you examine the rest of the stack. Stating the caveat costs us a cleaner sales line and saves you a wasted afternoon, which is the correct trade for data somebody is going to act on. With that said, the scale and the version data are real. As of October 2026 we see Sphinx on 2,117 sites. We have recorded 122 distinct versions, 9.1.0 among them, which is a wide spread for something this specialised and tells you that installations are pinned rather than continuously updated. Software that ships as a package, gets configured once and then sits still produces exactly this pattern. Our record dates the entry to 2008 under a BSD-2-Clause licence, and both values describe the search server rather than the documentation tool whose site we link to, which is the same ambiguity turning up in the fields themselves. The search side belongs to an older generation of infrastructure, the era when adding real search to a site meant running a separate daemon next to MySQL or PostgreSQL rather than calling a hosted API. Some of that generation has quietly disappeared. Some of it is load bearing inside systems nobody wants to touch, and the second group is the interesting one, because it is where migration work, support contracts and long tail risk actually live. Detection of server side software is always partial. A search daemon exposes itself only when the application in front of it says so, through error strings, response headers, generated markup or a footer nobody edited, and a carefully built application says nothing at all. The count is therefore a lower bound drawn from the sites that leak. What the downloadable list gives you that a single lookup cannot is the shape of that population: which domains, which versions, which top level domains, and what moved between one export and the next. ## Frequently asked questions ### How to download the list of websites using Sphinx The complete list of websites using Sphinx is available as one structured file. Every row is a site we detected running Sphinx, exported with its full record, so you can filter it offline instead of crawling the web yourself. - **Choose a dataset** in the preview above or the price cards below - **Check out** by card or in crypto, priced in EUR - **Download the list** one JSONL file (zstd) in your account, which you can re-download any time during your access month What each file holds, for every site: - **Technologies:** the domain, the full stack we detect with versions, IP, hosting country, HTTP status, social profiles, PageRank / Harmonic rank and domain dates. - **All data:** every column in one file: the domain, technologies, IP, hosting country, rank and dates, plus DNS records and RDAP / WHOIS. - A daily-refreshed export, so the list you receive is never stale. ### How many websites use Sphinx? webatla detects Sphinx on 2K websites, refreshed daily. Each row has the domain with its IP, hosting country, ranking and the rest of its stack, and All data adds DNS and WHOIS. ### Can I download the list of websites using Sphinx? Yes, the list downloads as structured JSONL (zstd), one domain per line. ### What's included for each site, and how fresh is it? The Technologies file has the domain, the full stack with versions, IP, hosting country, HTTP status, PageRank and Harmonic. All data adds DNS and RDAP/WHOIS. Everything is re-detected and re-exported daily. ### How do I find the websites using Sphinx? Buy the technology dataset, then download the complete list of domains we detect using Sphinx, re-exported every day. ### What else is in the Sphinx technology data? Each row places Sphinx next to the other technology on the same site, plus its IP, hosting country and ranking. All data adds DNS and WHOIS. ### Can I download just the sites using Sphinx, or the whole database? Both. Every site running Sphinx comes in the Technologies dataset, one downloadable file. Or buy All data for the entire database: technologies plus identity, ranking, DNS and RDAP/WHOIS for every domain, combined in one file. Daily fresh export. ## Get the full list of websites using Sphinx Pick the dataset that covers what you need. Each one includes Sphinx and downloads as JSONL, rebuilt daily.
