<h1><a href="http://www.recoll.org/">Recoll</a> is
|

a personal full text search tool for Unix/Linux.</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>It is based on the very strong <a href=
|
||
"http://www.xapian.org">Xapian</a> search engine library, for
|
||
which it provides a powerful text extraction layer and a
|
||
complete, yet easy to use, Qt graphical interface.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><span class="application">Recoll</span> is free, open source,
|

and licensed under the GPL. The current version is
|
||
<a href="download.html">1.17.2</a>
|
||
(<a href="release-1.17.html">Release notes</a>).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="remark">Recoll will index an <b>MS-Word</b> document stored as
|
||
an <b>attachment</b> to an <b>e-mail message</b> inside
|
||
a <b>Thunderbird folder</b> archived in a <b>Zip file</b>
|
||
(and more...). It will also help you search for it with a
|
||
friendly and powerful interface, and let you open a copy of the file
|
||
without much fuss. There is little that will remain hidden on
|
||
your disk.

|

<p><b><i>Recoll user ?</i></b> Maybe there are still a few useful

search tricks that you don't know about. A quick look at

the <a href="usermanual/rcl.search.tips.html">search

<h2>News: </h2>
|

<div class="news">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>2012-05-16: Release 1.17.2 fixes a few minor bugs in
|
||
1.17. See the <a href="release-1.17.html">Release
|
||
notes</a>. </li>
|
||
|
||
<li>2012-04-07: we now have a Chinese user manual: Recoll现在有中文手册咯：
|
||
<a href="http://stupidbeauty.com/Blog/2012/03/recoll%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B6%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8A%E7%BF%BB%E8%AD%AF%EF%BC%8Crecoll-user-manual-2/">

|
||
|
||
<li>2012-03-27: Recoll gets a Ubuntu Unity Lens. If you are running
|
||
an Ubuntu release where this makes sense, you can install
|
||
the recoll-lens package from the
|
||
<a href="https://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/recoll-1.15-on">
|
||
Recoll PPA</a>. The Lens uses the Recoll GUI as a proxy to
|
||
extract and display embedded documents, which native utilities
|
||
can't reach directly. And of course you still need to run
|
||
the GUI (or the command line recollindex) to get the indexing
|
||
going !</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>2012-03-24: Release 1.17 is out, see
|
||
the <a href="release-1.17.html">Release notes</a>. </li>
|
||
|
||
<li>2011-11-26: the result list glitch: ennoying and easily
|
||
worked-around: it will sometimes happen (for a yet
|
||
undetermined reason) that the result list paragraph format
|
||
stored in the Qt preferences file will get garbled,
|
||
causing result lists with no displayed paragraphs (the
|
||
counts and pages are ok, the results can be seen in table
|
||
mode, but not in list mode). The workaround is to go to
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
Preferences->Query configuration->User interface
|
||
</blockquote> and erase the result paragraph format string
|
||
(^A DEL in the text area), this will reset the string to the
|
||
default value.</li>
