inside <code class="literal">dir</code> path filtering clauses, they
will have a multiplicative effect on the query size. A clause
containg wildcards in several paths elements, like, for
example,
<code class="literal">dir:</code><em class="replaceable"><code>/home/me/*/*/docdir</code></em>,
will almost certainly fail if your indexed tree is of any realistic
size.</p><p>Depending on the case, you may be able to work around
the issue by specifying the paths elements more narrowly, with
a constant prefix, or by using 2
separate <code class="literal">dir:</code> clauses instead of multiple
wildcards, as
in <code class="literal">dir:</code><em class="replaceable"><code>/home/me</code></em> <code class="literal">dir:</code><em class="replaceable"><code>docdir</code></em>. The
latter query is not equivalent to the initial one because it
does not specify a number of directory levels, but that's
the best we can do (and it may be actually more useful in
some cases).</p></div><script type="text/javascript" src="common/main.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="common/splitterInit.js"></script><div class="navfooter"><hr></hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="RCL.SEARCH.WILDCARDS.html">Prev</a>��</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="RCL.SEARCH.WILDCARDS.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right">��<a accesskey="n" href="RCL.SEARCH.ANCHOR.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">��</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">��</td></tr></table></div></div><div id="sidebar"><div id="leftnavigation" style="padding-top:3px;"><div id="tabs"><ul><li><a href="#treeDiv" style="outline:0;" tabindex="1"><span class="contentsTab">Contents</span></a></li><li><a href="#searchDiv" style="outline:0;" tabindex="1" onclick="doSearch()"><span class="searchTab">Search</span></a></li></ul><div id="treeDiv"><img src="common/images/loading.gif" alt="loading table of contents..." id="tocLoading" style="display:block;"></img><div id="ulTreeDiv" style="display:none"><ul id="tree" class="filetree"><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INTRODUCTION.html" tabindex="1">Introduction</a></span><ul><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INTRODUCTION.TRYIT.html" tabindex="1">Giving it a try</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INTRODUCTION.SEARCH.html" tabindex="1">Full text search</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INTRODUCTION.RECOLL.html" tabindex="1">Recoll overview</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.html" tabindex="1">Indexing</a></span><ul><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.INTRODUCTION.html" tabindex="1">Introduction</a></span><ul><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.INTRODUCTION.MODES.html" tabindex="1">Indexing modes</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.INTRODUCTION.CONFIG.html" tabindex="1">Configurations, multiple indexes</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="ch02s01s03.html" tabindex="1">Document types</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="ch02s01s04.html" tabindex="1">Indexing failures</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="ch02s01s05.html" tabindex="1">Recovery</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.STORAGE.html" tabindex="1">Index storage</a></span><ul><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.STORAGE.FORMAT.html" tabindex="1">Xapian index formats</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.STORAGE.SECURITY.html" tabindex="1">Security aspects</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.html" tabindex="1">Index configuration</a></span><ul><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.MULTIPLE.html" tabindex="1">Multiple indexes</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.SENS.html" tabindex="1">Index case and diacritics sensitivity</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.GUI.html" tabindex="1">The index configuration GUI</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.WEBQUEUE.html" tabindex="1">Indexing WEB pages you wisit</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.EXTATTR.html" tabindex="1">Extended attributes data</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.EXTTAGS.html" tabindex="1">Importing external tags</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.PERIODIC.html" tabindex="1">Periodic indexing</a></span><ul><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.PERIODIC.EXEC.html" tabindex="1">Running indexing</a></span></li><li><span class="file"><a href="RCL.INDEXING.PERIODIC.AUTOMAT.html" tabindex="1">Using cron to automate
