+Recoll is a personal full text search tool for Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix
+systems.
+
+Recoll is based on a very strong backend (Xapian), for which it provides an
+easy to use, feature-rich, zero-administration interface.
+
+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. Features:
+
+ * Document types: text, html, pdf (with pdftotext), postscript (with
+ ghostscript's pstotext), msword (with antiword), openoffice files,
+ maildir and mailbox mail folders (Mozilla and thunderbird mail
+ ok). Deals with compressed versions of same.
+ * Relatively powerful query facilities, with boolean searches, phrases,
+ filter on file types and directory tree.
+ * Support for multiple charsets. Internal processing and storage uses
+ Unicode UTF-8.
+ * Stemming performed at query time (can switch stemming language after
+ indexing)
+ * 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.
+ * GUI based on qt, written with qt Designer.
+ * An indexer which runs either as a thread inside the GUI or as an
+ external, cron'able program.
