2nd paragraph

The book describes index_sp as a directive to enable smarter separator handling. But Sphinx document (http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/2.0.4/conf-index-sp.html) says index_sp sets whether to detect and index sentence and paragraph boundaries. And smarter separator handling rules in book are explained as just a part of sentence boundary detection rules which seems to be enabled always.

Is the explanation in book really correct?
