Recoll WebUI
Recoll WebUI is a Python-based web interface for Recoll text search tool for Unix/Linux.
- WebUI homepage: https://github.com/koniu/recoll-webui
- Recoll homepage: http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll
Requirements
All you need to use the WebUI is:
- Python 2.x
- Recoll 1.18.1+
- web browser
Usage
Recoll WebUI can be used as a standalone application or through a web server via WSGI/CGI. Regardless of the mode of operation you need Recoll to be configured on your system as the WebUI only provides a front-end for searching and does not handle index configuration etc.
Standalone
Run webui-standalone.py and connect to http://localhost:8080.
To change the default port, edit webui-standalone.py.
WSGI/CGI

Issues
Can't open files when Recoll WebUI is running on a server
By default links to files in the result list correspond to the file's physical location on the server. If you have access to the file tree via a local mountpoint or eg. ftp/http you can provide replacement URLs in the WebUI settings. If in doubt, ask your network administrator.
Opening files via local links
For security reasons modern browsers prevent linking to local content from 'remote' pages. As a result URLs starting with file:// will not, by default, be opened when linked from anything else than pages in file:// or when accessed directly from the address bar. Here's ways of working around it:
Firefox
- Insert contents of examples/firefox-user.js into ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/user.js
- Restart Firefox
Chrom{e,ium}
Install LocalLinks extension:
Opera
- Copy examples/opera-open.sh into your PATH (eg. /usr/local/bin)
- Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Programs > Add
- In Protocol field enter local-file
- Select Open with other application and enter opera-open.sh
- In WebUI settings replace all file:// with local-file://
