Recoll is a personal full text search tool for Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
Recoll is based on a very strong backend (Xapian), for which it provides an
|
|
easy to use, feature-rich, zero-administration interface.
|
|
|
|
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. Features:
|
|
|
|
* Document types: text, html, pdf (with pdftotext), postscript (with
|
|
ghostscript's pstotext), msword (with antiword), openoffice files,
|
|
maildir and mailbox mail folders (Mozilla and thunderbird mail
|
|
ok). Deals with compressed versions of same.
|
|
* Relatively powerful query facilities, with boolean searches, phrases,
|
|
filter on file types and directory tree.
|
|
* Support for multiple charsets. Internal processing and storage uses
|
|
Unicode UTF-8.
|
|
* Stemming performed at query time (can switch stemming language after
|
|
indexing)
|
|
* Easy installation. No database daemon, web server or exotic language
|
|
necessary. The idea is that everybody should index their files
|
|
because it makes life easier.
|
|
* GUI based on qt, written with qt Designer.
|
|
* An indexer which runs either as a thread inside the GUI or as an
|
|
external, cron'able program.
