<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">1.15.2</a>
(<a href="release-1.15.0.html">Release notes</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 4 GUI. (Older releases can use Qt 3).</li>
<li>Searches most common
<a href="features.html#doctypes">document types</a>, emails and
their attachments. Transparently handles decompression
(gzip, bzip2).</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>
</ul>
<p><i>Recoll can 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 let you open a copy of the file
without any fuss. There is little that will remain hidden on
your disk :)</i></p>
<p><b><i>Recoll user ?</i></b> Maybe there are still a few useful
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.</p>
<h2>News: </h2>
<ul>
<li>2011-02-02 : Recoll <a href="download.html#source">1.15.2</a> is

</li>
<li>2010-11-29 : Recoll <a href="download.html#source">1.14.4</a> is
out. This is a small bugs fix release, the important <a

released a few days after 1.14.3 because of an ennoying email
preview bug in the latter.
</li>
<li>2010-11-20 : wrote a small script so that recoll can be
activated or hidden with a single keystroke on the gnome
desktop. See the

installation recipee here</a>.</li>
