+ Comme vous pouvez le constater, je ne suis pas concepteur de pages
+ HTML..., mais j'ai d'autres talents, principalement autour du systeme
+ UNIX.
- Introduction
+ Curriculum vitae: ici en Franc,ais or here in English.
- This is Recoll, a personal full text indexing system.
+ Vous pouvez me joindre par messagerie: jean-francois.dockes@wanadoo.fr
- Recoll is free and copyrighted under the GPL license, see COPYING inside
- the distribution. A lot of the code is imported from other packages, see
- the Credits.
+ Si vous faites partie d'une association qui a plus de besoins
+ informatiques que de moyens, vous pouvez aussi me contacter (que ce soit
+ pour un site web ou d'autres besoins internes).
- Recoll is still in infancy, but it is based on a very strong backend
- (Xapian), and it can actually be useful right now, which is why I release
- it so early. You might be interested in using Recoll to index your home
- directory instead of xapian's Omega, for example, if you do not want to
- run a web server, or your data is not iso-8859-1. But the query features
- are very, very, much weaker.
+ Il m'arrive aussi de faire de l'informatique pour m'amuser:
- See INSTALL inside the distribution for compiling and installing, very
- much by hand for now, I hope it will become better in the near future.
-
- Features:
-
- * Easy installation. No database daemon, web server or exotic language
- necessary. The idea is that EVERYBODY should index their files because
- it makes life easier.
- * Indexes text, html, pdf (with xpdf's pdftotext),postscript (with
- ghostscript's pstotext), msword (with antiword), and openoffice files.
- Deals with compressed versions of same.
- * Support for multiple charsets. Internal processing and storage uses
- Unicode UTF-8.
- * Stemming performed at query time (can switch stemming language after
- indexing)
- * An ugly GUI, qt-based, written with qt Designer.
- * An indexer which runs either as a thread inside the GUI or as an
- external, cron'able program.
-
- Things lacking, coming in the not too far future:
-
- * Mail folder indexing. It would be quite easy to add for single message
- folders right now, more complicated for concatenated ones. This is
- first priority.
- * A more sophisticated query interface: the current one has no boolean
- capabilities.
- * A pretty GUI (see above)
- * An interactive configuration tool. You need to edit files by hand for
- now.
- * Packages, rpm or other. It's all tar files currently.
- * A build system, autoconf et al.
- * Documentation and help.
- * A few more filters for less common file types.
-
- Using recoll
-
- * Use File->Index to build/rebuild the database (what to index is
- defined in the configuration file, see the install doc).
- * Enter search terms in the upper left text field. There is no query
- language right now, the search only understand probabilistic terms
- (just words...), and double-quote enclosed phrases. Click Search or
- type CR
- * A result list should appear in the left pane. You can use the
- Next/Prev buttons to paginate.
- * Clicking on an entry in the list will display a preview in the right
- pane -- This can take some time for big postscript or pdf files, as
- the file is converted on the fly for preview --
- * Double-clicking on an entry should launch an external viewer, as
- specified in the mimeconf file (see INSTALL). This doesn't work for
- compressed files for now.
-
- I very much welcome suggestions or (gasp) code
-
- In hope that this can be useful to somebody, it already is for me.

-
- Recoll is mainly a little glue code, and most of the intelligent work uses
- code from external projects (xapian, estraier, unac, iconv).
-
- Recoll borrows (steals?) heavily from the following projects. I tried to
- include the relevant copyright attributions with the code. Any omission is
- unintentional and will be fixed as soon as notified.
-
- * Xapian: The database module (core) is used unmodified, and quite a lot
- of code has been borrowed from Omega, the web-based search application
- (ie: the html parser, plus miscellaneous bits and ideas).
- * Estraier: Miscellaneous bits of codes and ideas, especially for
- charset handling, and code from external filters.
- * Unac: for accent removal. This is a relatively small package, not that
- easy to find, it has been integrated almost unmodified in the Recoll
- package.
- * Iconv, for character set conversion.
