Recoll for OS/2, a personal full text search tool ================================================= 23/Nov/2007 - Yuri Dario Contents -------- Recoll is a personal full text search tool. It is based on the very strong Xapian back-end, for which it provides a feature-rich yet easy to use front-end with a WPS graphical interface. Recoll is free, open source, and licensed under the GPL. The current version is 1.8.2 We borrow a lot of code from other packages, and welcome code and ideas from contributors, see the Credits. Maybe there are still a few useful tricks that you don't know about. A quick look at the search tips might prove useful ! Features: * Easy installation, few dependancies. No database daemon, web server, desktop environment or exotic language necessary. * Will run on most unix-based systems * Supports most common document types. * Powerful query facilities, with boolean searches, phrases, proximity, wildcards, filter on file types and directory tree. * Multi-language and multi-character set with Unicode based internals. * (more detail) * OS/2 WPS native integration.
