The personal configuration files and the database are kept in the .recoll

The default configuration will index your home directory. If this is not
appropriate, use recoll to copy the sample configuration, click Cancel,

start the initial indexation, which may take some time.
Then start recollindex, and wait for indexing to complete (this may take
