== Indexing Web history with the Firefox extension ==
|
|
|
|
Note: this document is valid for Recoll versions from 1.18.
|
|
|
|
The link:http://sourceforge.net/projects/recollfirefox/[Recoll Firefox
|
|
extension]
|
|
works together with Recoll to index the Web pages that you visit. The
|
|
extension is based on an older one which was initially written for the
|
|
Beagle indexer.
|
|
|
|
The extension works by copying the data for the visited pages to a queue
|
|
directory ('~/.recollweb/ToIndex' by default), from which they are
|
|
indexed and removed by Recoll, and then stored in a local cache.
|
|
|
|
The extension is now hosted on the Mozilla add-ons site, so you can install
|
|
it very simply in Firefox: link:https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/recoll-indexer-1/[Recoll Firefox add-on page].
|
|
|
|
This feature can be enabled in the Recoll GUI index configuration panel
|
|
(Web history section), or by editing the configuration file (set
|
|
+processwebqueue+ to 1).
|
|
|
|
Please remember that Recoll only stores a limited amount of cached web data
|
|
(adjustable from the GUI Index Configuration section), and that old pages
|
|
will be purged from the index. Pages that you want to archive permanently
|
|
need to be saved elsewhere, as they will otherwise eventually disappear
|
|
from the Recoll results.
|
|
|
|
Recoll will index +.maff+ files, which may be a better choice for archival
|
|
usage.
