<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">1.13.02</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.</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>

<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 !</p>
