Recoll 1.17.3

Recoll project is a personal full text search package for Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix systems.

Recoll is based on a very strong backend (Xapian), for which it provides an easy to use, feature-rich, easy administration interface.

Recoll is free and copyrighted under the GPL license, see COPYING inside the distribution. A lot of the code is imported from other packages.

Recoll has been compiled and tested on FreeBSD, Linux, Darwin and Solaris (versions FreeBSD 5.3, Redhat 7.3, Solaris 8, but other not too distant releases should be ok too).
