About Recoll
Recoll indexes the text in most document formats, mail folders and archives using the Xapian search engine, and supports phrase, proximity, field and wildcard queries with stemming in many languages. It has Qt and web interfaces and indexes on a schedule or in real time.
Strengths
- Handles an unusually wide range of formats, including mail folders
- Powerful query language with stemming, fields and proximity
