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> ]

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.

       Please refer to online help for a full description.
