Example code

The following sample would query the index with a user language string. See the python/samples directory inside the Recoll source for other examples. The recollgui subdirectory has a very embryonic GUI which demonstrates the highlighting and data extraction functions.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from recoll import recoll

db = recoll.connect()
db.setAbstractParams(maxchars=80, contextwords=4)

query = db.query()
nres = query.execute("some user question")
print "Result count: ", nres
if nres > 5:
    nres = 5
for i in range(nres):
    doc = query.fetchone()
    print "Result #%d" % (query.rownumber,)
    for k in ("title", "size"):
        print k, ":", getattr(doc, k).encode('utf-8')
    abs = db.makeDocAbstract(doc, query).encode('utf-8')
    print abs
    print
