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.
