NAME
recoll - user interface for the Recoll full text search system
SYNOPSIS
recoll [ -c <configdir> ] [ -o | -l | -f | -a ] [ -t ] [ -q <query> ]
recoll [ -c <configdir> ] <url>
DESCRIPTION
In the first form, 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.
Please refer to online help for a full description.
In the second form, the recoll command can be used to start a native viewer for a document indexed by
Recoll. It will understand a final URL fragment (separated by a '#' character) to indicate an ipath , the
specifier for the part of the Recoll document access path which is is internal to a container such as a
mbox folder or a zip archive, and will, if needed, create a temporary file to let a normal system utility
display the document.
The second form is mostly used for opening embedded documents from the Ubuntu Unity Recoll lens.
