NAME

       recoll - user interface for the Recoll full text search system

SYNOPSIS

       recoll [ -c <configdir> ] [ -o | -l | -f | -a ] [ -t ] [ -q <query> ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.
