# 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.
Most distributions feature prebuilt packages for Recoll. In any case, [here
are the instructions for building and
installing.](http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/webhelp/docs/RCL.INSTALL.BUILDING.html)
