RECOLL(1)              DragonFly 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
       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.
