<p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: 1.18 introduces serious
|
||||
index formats changes, and it will be advisable to reset the index
|
||||
in most cases. <em>IF</em> the 1.18 index is not configured for
|
||||
case and diacritics sensitivity, it is mostly compatible with
|
||||
1.17 indexes though. Case/diacritics sensitivity can be turned
|
||||
off either by a compile flag or a configuration variable, and
|
||||
the default is still a stripped index (so, mostly compatible
|
||||
with 1.17). If you activate case and diacritics sensitivity,
|
||||
you must reset the index.</p>
|
||||
in most cases. This will be best done by destroying the

||||
index directory (<tt>rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb</tt>).</p>

<p><em>If</em> the 1.18 index is not configured for case and

|
||||
indexes though.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Case/diacritics sensitivity is off by default. For 1.18, it can be
|
||||
turned on only by editing recoll.conf by hand (see the
|
||||
manual). If you do so, you must reset the index.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Always reset the index if installing over an older version (1.16
|
||||
and older). The simplest way to do this is to quit all recoll
|
||||
programs and just delete the index directory (<span
|
||||
class="literal">rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb</span>), then
|
||||
start recoll or recollindex. <span
|
||||
class="literal">recollindex -z</span> will do the same in most
|
||||
cases.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some new, auxiliary, features also require a full reindex:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The file size filtering functions if the existing index was
|
||||
created by version 1.16 or older.</li>
|
||||
<li>The anchored search feature if the index was created by
|
||||
release 1.15 or older.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
class="literal">recollindex -z</span> will do the same in
|
||||
most, but not all, cases.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The subdirectories of xapiandb which were previously used to
|
||||
store the stem expansion database (stem_english,
|
||||
stem_french...) are not used anymore, because the data is now
|
||||
stored in the Xapian synonyms table. They will stay around if
|
||||
you do nothing about them, so you may want to delete them if
|
||||
you have not chosen to just delete the whole index
|
||||
directory.</p>

The default list contains PDF,
