WHen I run this search, "Result count (est.): 0
Query details: Query(((accommodation OR accommodation#10) AND (XP PHRASE 6 XPhome PHRASE 6 XPrich PHRASE 6 XPDropbox PHRASE 6 XPPublications PHRASE 6 XPdigital humanities))) "

I do not get any results, although I know that the terms appear in many docs in the sub directory in question. This seems to be the case with any time I run a search constrained to a path. It might be a path that is N layers deep, because as I gradually remove the folders, at one point all of the results for the larger scope will appear.

Running manjaro linux, up to date, cinnamon 3.4.6. Linux kernel 4.9, deleted all config files, reinstalled recoll, reindexed.

    I tried the same path and query, and this appears to work for me. Could you please tell me what recoll version you are using (from the Help menu)

    Result count (est.): 1
    Query details: ((accommodation:(wqf=11) AND (XP PHRASE 6 XPhome PHRASE 6 XPdockes PHRASE 6 XPDropbox PHRASE 6 XPPublications PHRASE 6 XPdigital humanities)))

    Recoll 1.23.2 + Xapian 1.4.4
    Actually, it still seems to be indexing, so let me try again whenever it finishes the index and report back. This behavior was happening before I deleted the index files and started fresh though.

    here is idxstatus.txt. Filesdone keeps increasing so I assume indexing is not complete yet. Is there a way to tell when the index is complete?

    phase = 1
    docsdone = 144962
    filesdone = 205529
    fileerrors = 662
    dbtotdocs = 177361
    totfiles = 205529
    fn = (path to file removed)

    Recoll appears to be indexing config files despite skipped path entry "/home/rich/.*"

    Search Query(((accommodation OR accommodation#10) AND (XP PHRASE 6 XPhome PHRASE 6 XPrich PHRASE 6 XPDropbox PHRASE 6 XPPublications PHRASE 6 XPdigital humanities)))

    returns empty, but I know the term appears. This is happening regularly on other searches as well.

    Please have a look at this page:

    http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/faqsandhowtos/WhyIsMyFileNotIndexed.html

    and use recollindex -e -i to check that the files you can't find are actually indexed

    About skippedPaths : are you sure that you have no typo in the variable name ? This works as far as I know. Possibly attach your recoll.conf file so that I can check.

      Thank you mssr medoc! Unfortunately, I had a hardware problem and the box is in the shop right now. As soon as I get it back I will run through the processes you pointed me to, so plz don't close the ticket yet.

    it was taking forever to index. It seemed like it was trying to index .svg files from compressed ebooks and getting stuck there. I added svg files to the ignored endings to see if that moves the process along any better.

    It is taking a long time indexing pdfs now, spending over two minutes on one.

    Hi, back again. Idid a reinstall of manjaro cinnamon edition, updated everything, and ran the indexer again with a newly written conf file that fixed some earlier problems. It took a while to reset the box, and it took several days more for recoll to complete the indexing. As far as I can tell, everything is indexed including the ADA path. If I do the search for "accommodation" with no path specified, it finds all instances, including the ones in the ADA path. If I search on a specific file name, that I know contains the search term, the search finds nothing. If I delete the filename clause and specify the full path to the ADA directory, the search for "accommodation" yields no results. Both filename search and path search fail with path in quotes too, on the off chance that file and path names with spaces need to be quoted. If I check the "invert" and run with ADA path, no quotes, and it returns all instances, both within the subtree and alsewhere.

    When I run the recollindex -i as per debug, the logs show the files as already indexed with no problem. when I run recollindex on the while index, it shows everything up to date and appears to exit without error. Is there anything in particular to search for in the logs? I can't share the logs for obvious privacy reasons.

    Thanks for your help!
