<li> When Recoll is built with qt 4.4.0, the icons in the
result list are all displayed at the top of the page and
garbled. This appears to be a qt bug, fixed in 4.4.1. Use
either qt 4.3.x or 4.4.1

<li> If the user-chosen result list entry format results in
several paragraphs (in the qt textedit sense), right clicks
will only work inside the first one for each entry.
<li>The "Copy file name" and "Copy URL" entries of the
right-click menus only copy the data to the X11 primary
selection (use middle-button click to paste). This is
probably a mistake, the data should be copied to the
clipboard too (permitting the use of the "Paste" edit menu
entry or Ctrl+V in the target).

<li> When a mime type has an external viewer defined, but the
actual file is compressed (ie: xxx.txt.gz), recoll will try
to start the external viewer on the compressed file, which
will not work in most cases.

<li> NEAR crashes: 1.6 has added NEAR searches. Unlike what
recoll did with PHRASES, stemming expansion is performed on
terms inside NEAR clauses (except if prevented by a
capitalized entry of course). There is a bug in Xapian (all
versions as far as I know), where NEAR does not support
multiple OR subclauses, as would result from a multiple
expansion. This manifests itself by a 'not implemented'
Xapian exception. Workarounds:
<li>NEAR expansion errors: recoll performs stemming expansion
inside NEAR clauses (except if prevented by a capitalized
entry). Because of a Xapian bug (at least up to 1.0.10),
NEAR does not support multiple OR subclauses. This manifests
itself by a 'not implemented' Xapian exception or an
explicit error message. Workarounds:
<ul>
<li>Prevent expansion of NEAR terms (possibly except one) by
capitalizing them.

"api/" directory:

<li> Under Solaris, it is necessary to perform initial indexing with the

<li>The default filter for files in microsoft word format
(application/msword, .doc), antiword, has trouble with some
relatively rare files with a very small text, resulting in the
following error message:

I'm afraid the text stream of this file is too small to
handle.
</blockquote>
Only small files produced by Microsoft Word on a Mac, or by
OpenOffice will trigger this message. As a workaround, install
wvWare and modify mimeconf to use the rcldoc filter, which
will use vwWare if it is available. This will result in
slower indexing for doc files.</li>
