RECOLLINDEX(1)

NAME
recollindex - indexing command for the Recoll full text search system

SYNOPSIS
recollindex -h
recollindex [ -c <configdir> ] [ -z ]
recollindex [ -c <configdir> ] -i <filename [filename ...]>
recollindex [ -c <configdir> ] -s <lang>

DESCRIPTION
The recollindex utility allows you to perform indexing operations for the Recoll text search system.

The -c option specifies the configuration directory name, overriding the default or $RECOLL_CONFDIR.

There are three modes of operation.

The normal mode will index the set of files described in the configuration file recoll.conf. This will incrementally update the database with files that changed since the last run. If option -z is given, the database will be erased before starting.

The two other modes are useful mainly for testing.

recollindex -i will index individual files into the database. The stem expansion databases will not be updated.

recollindex -s will build the stem expansion database for a given language, which may or may not be part of the list in the configuration file. If the language is not part of the configuration, the stem expansion database will be deleted during the next normal run. The following languages (abbreviations) are recognized:

    •   danish (da)

    •   dutch (nl)

    •   english (en) Martin Porter's 2002 revision of his stemmer

    •   english_lovins (lovins) Lovin's stemmer
