Explain to me please, what's the MATCH() operator in SphinxQL - how to use it?

Sorry if my question is stupid for somebody, but I really couldn't find any normal explanation in the Web of this.

For example, I have this request:

SELECT tid FROM message WHERE MATCH('test');

What does it mean?

Thanks.

Its quite literally the 'workhorse' of sphinx. The query you want to 'search' the index with. Pretty much the point of Sphinx is to run 'full-text queryies'
