can Sphinx be configured ---> to get same results as mysql fulltext search
I have a mysql database table that contains multiple records of:
 		"word-A" -- "words related to word-A"

	For example: 
  		chair -- furniture;table;office-chair;dining-chair
<br>
I am currently using mysql fulltext match-against query (plain match-against , not boolean mode) to match a sentence against those words. 

I am limiting results to 5.
I am using fulltext indexes, and I am also loading these indexes in cache.

This query gives me good quality results, but it is slow (around 100+ ms). 
<br><br><br>
I tried using Sphinx search for this. It is very fast, but results are not similar to those of mysql fulltext query. 
Some results are same but usually in different order, others are totally different results.

For sentence matching purpose, is mysql fulltext better than Sphinx ?
Can I configure Sphinx to get similar results as that of mysql fulltext search ?
<br><br>
Currently I am using following config:

          SPH_MATCH_EXTENDED2

          SPH_SORT_RELEVANCE

          SPH_RANK_PROXIMITY_BM25 (also tried SPH_RANK_BM25)

          stopwords enabled

          The min_word_len is set to 2 - same as that in my mysql config.

Any help is appreciated. 
Thanks.
