<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> search engine library, for
which it provides a powerful text extraction layer and a
complete, yet easy to use, Qt graphical interface.</p>
<p><span class="application">Recoll</span> is free, open source,
and licensed under the GPL. The current version is
<a href="download.html">1.17.2</a>
(<a href="release-1.17.html">Release notes</a>).</p>
<p class="remark">Recoll will 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 help you search for it with a
friendly and powerful interface, and let you open a copy of the file
without much fuss. There is little that will remain hidden on
your disk.
<a class="important" href="features.html">More details …</a></p>
<p>If you have problems with
Recoll, <a href="doc.html">documentation</a>
and <a href="support.html">support</a> are available.</p>
<p><b><i>Recoll user ?</i></b> Maybe there are still a few useful
search 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, and some contributed
<a href="custom.html">result list formats</a>.</p>
<h2>News</h2>
<div class="news">
<ul>
<li>2012-05-16: Release 1.17.2 fixes a few minor bugs in
1.17. See the <a href="release-1.17.html">Release
notes</a>. </li>
<li>2012-04-07: we now have a Chinese user manual: Recoll现在有中文手册咯：
<a href="http://stupidbeauty.com/Blog/2012/03/recoll%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B6%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8A%E7%BF%BB%E8%AD%AF%EF%BC%8Crecoll-user-manual-2/">
Recoll中文手册，HTML</a></li>
<li>2012-03-27: Recoll gets a Ubuntu Unity Lens. If you are running
an Ubuntu release where this makes sense, you can install
the recoll-lens package from the
<a href="https://launchpad.net/~recoll-backports/+archive/recoll-1.15-on">
Recoll PPA</a>. The Lens uses the Recoll GUI as a proxy to
extract and display embedded documents, which native utilities
can't reach directly. And of course you still need to run
the GUI (or the command line recollindex) to get the indexing
going !</li>
<li>2012-03-24: Release 1.17 is out, see
the <a href="release-1.17.html">Release notes</a>. </li>
<li>2011-11-26: the result list glitch: ennoying and easily
worked-around: it will sometimes happen (for a yet
undetermined reason) that the result list paragraph format
stored in the Qt preferences file will get garbled,
causing result lists with no displayed paragraphs (the
counts and pages are ok, the results can be seen in table
mode, but not in list mode). The workaround is to go to
<blockquote>
Preferences->Query configuration->User interface
</blockquote> and erase the result paragraph format string
(^A DEL in the text area), this will reset the string to the
default value.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Thanks</h2>
<p>Recoll borrows a lot of code
from other packages, and welcomes code and ideas from
contributors, see some of the
<a class="important" href="credits.html">Credits</a>.</p>
<h2>On the side</h2>
<div class="news">
<p>It doesn't appear likely that I'm going to become rich with
Recoll any time soon (what with giving it away for free and
all), so I've decided to use the home page to link to a few
things that marginally kind of earn some money:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We rent <a href="http://www.metairie-enbor.com/index.html.en">
a big country house</a> in the Aude area, in the south of
France (<a href="http://www.metairie-enbor.com/acces.html.en">see
map on the site</a>). If you are
looking for a wonderful country place with a pool to
spend holidays with a big bunch of family and/or
friends in a nice historical but very quiet area, this may be it.</p>
<p>And we also
sell <a href="http://www.metairie-enbor.com/bois-de-chauffage.html">
du <em>bois de chauffage</em></a> there too...</p>
