- 1.6 has added NEAR searches. Unlike what recoll did with PHRASES,
|
|
|
10 |
stemming expansion is performed on terms inside NEAR clauses (except if
|
|
|
11 |
prevented by a capitalized entry of course). There is a bug in Xapian at
|
|
|
12 |
least up to 0.9.9, where NEAR does not support multiple OR subclauses, as
|
|
|
13 |
would result from a multiple expansion. This manifests itself by a 'not
|
|
|
14 |
implemented' xapian exception and a recoll crash.
|
|
|
15 |
Workarounds:
|
|
|
16 |
- Prevent expansion of NEAR terms (possibly except one) by
|
|
|
17 |
capitalizing them.
|
|
|
18 |
- Apply the following patch to xapian 0.9.9, inside the "api/"
|
|
|
19 |
directory:
|
|
|
20 |
http://www.recoll.org/xapian/xapNearDistrib.patch
|
|
|
21 |
then recompile, and install.
|
|
|
22 |
I hope that the fix will make it into xapian at some point.

- If you are seeing a delay of a few seconds before the result list
|
|
|
24 |
displays for the first query of a recoll instance, try changing the
|
|
|
25 |
result list font in the query preferences. This is not a recoll problem,
|
|
|
26 |
I don't know the exact cause (I've seen it happen with "Sans Serif" and
|
|
|
27 |
go away with Helvetica or Arial).

- Under some versions of KDE (ie: Fedora FC5 KDE 3.5.4-0.5.fc5), there is a
|
|
|
38 |
problem with the window stacking order. Opening the "browse" file
|
|
|
39 |
selection dialog from the advanced search dialog will stack the latter
|
|
|
40 |
under the main window, possibly making it invisible. This is quite
|
|
|
41 |
probably a Kwin bug, possibly related to
|
|
|
42 |
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79183 or a correction thereof.

- If a defaultcharset was set in the configuration file for a subdirectory,
|
|
|
46 |
it would stay in effect for all subsequent files/directories (except if
|
|
|
47 |
explicitely overridden), potentially causing many transcoding errors.

- Dates in result list come from the file's ctimes, which may be confusing

|
|

- Some rare MIME messages with null boundaries can crash the indexer.
