Recolit Mac OS
Recoll finds documents based on their contents as well as their file names.
- Versions are available for Linux, MS Windows and Mac OS X.
- It can search most document formats. You may need external applications for text extraction.
- It can reach any storage place: files, archive members, email attachments, transparently handling decompression.
- One click will open the document inside a native editor or display an even quicker text preview.
- A WEB front-end with preview and download features can replace or supplement the GUI for remote use.
- The software is free on Linux, open source, and licensed under the GPL.
- Detailed features and application requirements for supported document types.
Recoll will index an MS-Word document stored as an attachment to an e-mail message inside a Thunderbird folder archived in a Zip file (and more...). It will also help you search for it with a friendly and powerful interface, and let you open a copy of a PDF at the right page with two clicks. There is little that will remain hidden on your disk.
The current Recoll version is 1.31.0 (Release notes, Release history).
Recoll is based on the very capable Xapian search engine library, for which it provides a powerful text extraction layer and a complete, yet easy to use, Qt graphical interface.

Recoll has extensive documentation. If you run into a problem, or want to propose improvements, you are welcome to use the mailing list or problem tracker. Even if you are already using Recoll, maybe there are still a few useful search tricks that you don't know about. A quick look at the search tips might prove useful ! Also the Faqs and Howtos section, and some contributed result list formats.
Recoll could not exist without a rich free software environment. See the credits. Thanks !

- Version 1.26.6. Small fixes. See the release notes
1.26.6 update, loss of GUI preferences A change in 1.26.6, which was supposedly intended for Windows, has unfortunately resulted in a change of name for the GUI preferences file under Linux. This was previously named ~/.config/Recoll.org/recoll.conf, and it is is now ~/.config/Recoll.org/recoll.ini. Changing back would risk causing even more trouble for the people who have began using the new file, and besides, the new name avoids confusion with the indexing configuration file ~/.recoll/recoll.conf. In order to recover your preferences, please exit recoll, then rename ~/.config/Recoll.org/recoll.conf to ~/.config/Recoll.org/recoll.ini. - 2020-03-08

- 2017-12-08
- Version 1.23.6 is released to provide a workaround to the Xapian 1.4 snippets generation issue. It will create indexes with the previous 'Chert' index format by default. If your index is in 'Glass' format and you are experiencing the UI freezes, you will need to delete it, by actually running rm -rf on the directory, (typically rm -rf ~/.recoll/xapiandb) before restarting the indexing.
- 2017-11-24
- Release 1.23.5 has a few changes and fixes and supports the (still experimental) new version of the Web browser extension. Also, I split the Debian/Ubuntu packages into command-line/GUI parts (recollcmd/recollgui), with a top recoll packages which depends on both, and this causes conflicts during the upgrade. For upgrading, either first delete the recoll package, then upgrade and reinstall recoll, or fix the issues with apt -f upgrade

- 2014-02-27
- While working on a Recoll-Mutt interface I discovered incidentally that the Recoll Webui Web interface works quite well with the links web browser inside a terminal window. This appears to be an interesting solution for people looking for a search interface usable in a non-GUI environment.
- 2013-04-30
