recoll has two search modes:
|
|
|
484 |
|
|
|
485 |
* Simple search (the default, on the main screen) has a single entry
|
|
|
486 |
field where you can enter multiple words.
|
|
|
487 |
|
|
|
488 |
* Advanced search (a panel accessed through the Tools menu or the
|
|
|
489 |
toolbox bar icon) shas multiple entry fields, which you may use to
|
|
|
490 |
build a logical condition, with additional filtering on file type and
|
|
|
491 |
location in the file system.
|
|
|
492 |
|
|
|
493 |
In most cases, you can enter the terms as you think them, even if they
|
|
|
494 |
contain embedded punctuation or other non-textual characters. For exemple,
|
|
|
495 |
Recoll can handle things like e-mail addresses, or arbitrary cut and paste
|
|
|
496 |
from another text window, punctation and all.

|
|
497 |

The main case where you should enter text differently from how it is
|
|
|
499 |
printed is for east-oriental languages written with Chinese characters.
|
|
|
500 |
Words composed of single or multiple characters should be entered
|
|
|
501 |
separated by white space in this case (they would typically be printed
|
|
|
502 |
without white space).
