      <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">1.14.4</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. 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>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
	  href="CHANGES.html">changes</a> were in 1.14.2. 1.14.4 was
	  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 
          <a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/wiki/HotRecoll">
            installation recipee here</a>.</li>

        <li>2010-01-29 : the full Recoll source repository is now
          hosted on 
	  <a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll">Bitbucket</a>,
          along with a Wiki
          (<a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/wiki/FaqsAndHowTos">
          Faqs and Howtos</a>) and an
          <a href="http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/issues">
	    issues tracking system</a>. Hopefully, this
          new channel for reporting bugs and make suggestions will
          increase the feedback rate...</li>
