“Recoll is based on Xapian, a mature open source search
engine library that supports advanced features such as phrase and
proximity search, relevance feedback, document categorization,
boolean queries, and wildcard search.“Since Recoll’s Web site provides binary packages for most
major Linux distributions – such as Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu, and
Debian – you can install it easily using your distro’s
package manager. If you want to enable support for document types
that require external helpers, you have to install them separately
using your distro’s package manager (a list of the required
external helpers is available at Recoll’s Web site). You can then
launch Recoll by choosing Recoll from the Applications →
Accessories menu (in Ubuntu) or running the recoll command in a
terminal window.”
