RECOLL(1)RECOLL(1)NAMErecoll - user interface for the Recoll full text search system
SYNOPSISrecoll [ -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 speci‐
fied, 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.
