RECOLL(1) General Commands Manual RECOLL(1) 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 inter- face 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 sim- ple 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, or if recoll is called as recollq (through a link), the Graphical User Interface will not be started, and results will be printed to the standard output. Additional options understood by the recollq com- mand 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 tem- porary 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. SEE ALSO recollindex(1) recollq(1) recoll.conf(5) 8 January 2006 RECOLL(1)
