# Recoll
|
|
|
|
Recoll is a desktop full-text search tool. It finds keywords inside
|
|
documents as well as file names.
|
|
|
|
* Versions are available for Linux and MS Windows.
|
|
* A WEB front-end with preview and download features can replace or
|
|
supplement the GUI for remote use.
|
|
* It can search most document formats. You may need external applications
|
|
for text extraction.
|
|
* It can reach any storage place: files, archive members, email
|
|
attachments, transparently handling decompression.
|
|
* One click will open the document inside a native editor or display an
|
|
even quicker text preview.
|
|
* The software is free, open source, and licensed under the GPL.
