pour un site web ou d'autres besoins internes).
Il m'arrive aussi de faire de l'informatique pour m'amuser: Recoll is free and copyrighted under the GPL license, see COPYING inside
the distribution. A lot of the code is imported from other packages, see
the Credits.

search) pour Unix et Linux (Xapian), and it can actually be useful right now, which is why I release

* An indexer which runs either as a thread inside the GUI or as an

Things lacking, coming in the not too far future:
* A more sophisticated query interface: the current one has no boolean
capabilities.
* A pretty GUI (see above)
* An interactive configuration tool. You need to edit files by hand for
now.
* Packages, rpm or other. It's all tar files currently.
* A build system, autoconf et al.
* Documentation and help.
* A few more filters for less common file types.

* Use File->Index to build/rebuild the database (what to index is
defined in the configuration file, see the install doc).
* Enter search terms in the upper left text field. There is no query
language right now, the search only understand probabilistic terms
(just words...), and double-quote enclosed phrases. Click Search or
type CR
* A result list should appear in the left pane. You can use the
Next/Prev buttons to paginate.
* Clicking on an entry in the list will display a preview in the right
pane -- This can take some time for big postscript or pdf files, as
the file is converted on the fly for preview --
* Double-clicking on an entry should launch an external viewer, as
specified in the mimeconf file (see INSTALL). This doesn't work for
compressed files for now.
I very much welcome suggestions or (gasp) code
In hope that this can be useful to somebody, it already is for me.
Downloads
Current version: 0.6 (tar.gz)
Older: 0.5
Installation
Prerequisites
At the very least, you will need to download and install the xapian core
package (I am currently using xapian version 0.8.5), and the qt runtime
and development packages (I am currently using qt 3.3.3).
You will most probably be able to find a binary package for qt for your
system. You may have to compile xapian, but this is not difficult.
You also need libiconv. I am currently using version 1.9. The iconv
interface is part of libc on Linux systems, you shouldn't need to do
anything there.
Compiling and installing
See the INSTALL file.
Credits
Recoll is mainly glue code, and most of the intelligent work uses code
from external projects.
Recoll borrows (steals?) heavily from the following projects. I tried to
include the relevant copyright attributions with the code. Any omission is
unintentional and will be fixed as soon as notified.
* Xapian: The database module (core) is used unmodified, and quite a lot
of code has been borrowed from Omega, the web-based search application
(ie: the html parser, plus miscellaneous bits and ideas).
* Estraier: Miscellaneous pieces of code and ideas, especially for
charset handling, and code from external filters.
* Unac: for accent removal. This is a relatively small package, not that
easy to find, it has been integrated almost unmodified in the Recoll
package.
* Iconv, for character set conversion.
* Binc IMAP for mail MIME MIME parsing code.
