<p><b>kio_recoll</b> is primarily
designed and tested with <b>konqueror</b>, and you will
undoubtedly get <i>even</i> more surprising effects with other tools.</p>
<p>With recent KDE versions (now: 2016), the file manager
interface works in Dolphin, and both the file manager and the HTML
interface work in Konqueror.</p>
<p>The Html interface is currently much more usable. The directory
interface is extremely quirky.</p>

<p>There are several ways to enter this interface:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dolphin will only present the file manager interface. Enter
<i>recoll:/some&nbsp;query</i>
or <i>recoll:&nbsp;some&nbsp;query</i> in the address bar. Note:
single-slash, not double, you will get something like "Protocol
unknown" if you enter 2 slashes.</li>
<li>Konqueror: this supports both the file manager and HTML
interfaces. You can force using the file manager interface in the
following ways:

<li>Using "recollf" as protocol name instead of "recoll". This is
probably the easiest option inside open dialogs.</li>

<p>No search result details (samples, relevance etc.) are available,
but this interface allows multiple selections and copies, usage
inside any KDE open dialog, etc.</p>
<p>To avoid swamping the interface with thousands of results, the
result count is limited to 100 by default. You can change this value
by setting the <code>kio_max_direntries</code> parameter in your recoll
configuration file (typically ~/.recoll/recoll.conf)</p>
<p>Because of limitations in the current KIO slave usage, the actual
entry names are not those displayed but synthetic ones like
"recollResultxxx". This has unfortunate side-effects when
dragging/dropping the entries to some other application, or when
using an open dialog (the opened file doesn't have the correct path
to the original file).</p>
<p>To avoid swamping the interface with too many thousands of
results, the result count is limited to 10000 by default. You can
change this value by setting the <code>kio_max_direntries</code>
parameter in your recoll configuration file (typically
~/.recoll/recoll.conf)</p>
