NAME

       recoll - user interface for the Recoll full text search system

SYNOPSIS

       recoll [ -c <configdir> ] [ -o | -l | -f | -a ] [ -t ] [ -q <query> ]

DESCRIPTION

       The recoll command will start the graphical user interface for querying the Recoll database.

       On  the  first run, recoll will create the user configuration which can be customized before starting the
       first indexation.

       The -c option specifies the configuration directory name, overriding the default or $RECOLL_CONFDIR.

       The -q option can be used to specify an initial query on the command line. This query will be interpreted
       by default as a query language string.  If -a is specified, the query string will be  interpreted  as  an
       all  words  simple  search query. If -o is specified, the query string will be interpreted as an any word
       simple search query. If -f is specified, the query string will be  interpreted  as  a  file  name  simple
       search  query. If -l is specified, the query string will be interpreted as a query language simple search
       query.

       If -t is specified, the Graphical User Interface will not be started, and results will be printed to  the
       standard  output.  Additional  options  understood  by the recollq command may be specified in this case.
       These can control the output format and the maximum number of results to be printed.
