Recoll Unity scope Daemon written in Python
-------------------------------------------

Depends on python-recoll

Trying out the scope
--------------------

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:recoll-backports/recoll-1.15-on

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install unity-scope-recoll
```

Of course you need to run the indexer at least once, from the Qt Recoll GUI
or the command line, before you can get any results from the scope.

You should then be able to search the Recoll index by prefixing your query
with 'recoll:' (without the quotes), or using "Filter Results"->"Sources".


Call to volunteers:
------------------

I have separated the Scope code from the main Recoll repository because the
Scope only depends on the external Python API, and in the hope that it may
encourage people to contribute. The code in there depends very little on
Recoll (a few calls), it's mostly interface for the Unity desktop and the
Dash.

It seems that the Scopes API will change *again* with Unity 8. I would
really like to find someone interested in the Ubuntu desktop internals, who
could take up the new version as an educational project.
