The indices for the two engines are updated in different ways. The built-in search index is updated after each edit, unless you've set $wgDisableSearchUpdate = true; Run the updateSearchIndex.php maintenance script if you need to regenerate the index. The Sphinx index is updated only when its indexer is run. It will become progressively more out-of-date as edits accumulate between updates; run the indexer frequently if that's a problem. < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch#Step_6_-_Configure_Incremental_Updates><http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch#Step_6_-_Configure_Incremental_Updates>
