      <h1><a href="http://www.recoll.org/">Recoll</a> is
	a personal full text search tool for Unix/Linux.</h1>

      <p>It is based on the very strong <a href=
	  "http://www.xapian.org">Xapian</a> search engine library, for
	  which it provides a powerful text extraction layer and a
	  complete, yet easy to use, Qt graphical interface.</p>

      <p><span class="application">Recoll</span> is free, open source,
	and licensed under the GPL. The current version is
	<a href="download.html">1.17.1</a> 
	(<a href="release-1.17.html">Release notes</a>).</p>

      <p class="remark">Recoll will index an <b>MS-Word</b> document stored as
	  an <b>attachment</b> to an <b>e-mail message</b> inside
	  a <b>Thunderbird folder</b> archived in a <b>Zip file</b>
	  (and more...). It will also help you search for it with a
	  friendly and powerful interface, and let you open a copy of the file
	  without much fuss. There is little that will remain hidden on 
	  your disk. 
        <a class="important" href="features.html">More details &hellip;</a></p>

      <p>If you have problems with
        Recoll, <a href="doc.html">documentation</a>
        and <a href="support.html">support</a> are available.</p> 

      <p><b><i>Recoll user ?</i></b> Maybe there are still a few useful
      	  search tricks that you don't know about. A quick look at
	the <a href="usermanual/rcl.search.tips.html">search
	tips</a> might prove useful ! Also the 
        <a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/wiki/FaqsAndHowTos">
          Faqs and Howtos</a> on bitbucket.org, and some contributed

      <h2>News: </h2>
      <div class="news">
      <ul>
        <li>2012-03-27: The Unity Lens can now handle results for embedded
          documents, using the Recoll GUI as a proxy to extract and
          display them.</li>

        <li>2012-03-26: Recoll gets a Ubuntu Unity Lens. If you are running
          an Ubuntu release where this makes sense, you can install
          the recoll-lens package from the 
     <a href="https://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/recoll-1.15-on">
          Recoll PPA</a>. <br />
         <i><b>Please note</b></i>:  for now, the Lens will only return
          results which are normal files, not embedded documents.
          Ie: no mbox messages, no attachments, no archive
          members, etc. For now, you'll have to use the full Recoll
          GUI to find these.</li>

        <li>2012-03-24: Release 1.17 is out, see
          the <a href="release-1.17.html">Release notes</a>. </li>

        <li>2011-11-26: the result list glitch: ennoying and easily
          worked-around: it will sometimes happen (for a yet
          undetermined reason) that the result list paragraph format
          stored in the Qt preferences file will get garbled,
          causing result lists with no displayed paragraphs (the
          counts and pages are ok, the results can be seen in table
          mode, but not in list mode). The workaround is to go to
          <blockquote>
           Preferences->Query configuration->User interface
          </blockquote> and erase the result paragraph format string
          (^A DEL in the text area), this will reset the string to the
          default value.</li>
