      <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> back-end, for which it
	provides a feature-rich yet easy to use front-end with a QT
	graphical interface.</p>

      <p><span class="application">Recoll</span> is free, open source,
	and licensed under the GPL. The current version is
	<a class="important" href="download.html">1.12.2</a> 
	(<a href="CHANGES.html">Changes</a>).</p>

      <h2>Features: </h2>

      <ul>
        <li>Easy installation, few dependancies. No database daemon,
	  web server, desktop environment or exotic language necessary.</li>
	<li>Will run on most Unix-based <a
	    href="features.html#systems">systems</a></li> 
        <li>Qt-based GUI. Can use either Qt 3 or Qt 4.</li>

        <li>Searches most common 
	  <a href="features.html#doctypes">document types</a>, emails and
	    their attachments.</li>

        <li>Powerful query facilities, with boolean searches,
	  phrases, proximity, wildcards, filter on file types and directory
	  tree. </li>

        <li>Multi-language and multi-character set with Unicode based
	  internals.</li> 
	<li><a class="weak" href="features.html">(more detail)</a></li>
