[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]The Recoll project team on April 26 announced the release of version 1.8.1 of its free, open-source, full text search tool for Linux desktops. Recoll is based on the "very strong" Xapian backend, which provides an easy-to-use, feature-rich, QT-based graphical interface, a team member said.
"We borrow a lot of code from other packages, and welcome code and ideas from contributors," the team member said.

"If you have any problem with the package or its installation, or a need for additional features, please contact us," the team member said. "We also very much welcome functional suggestions or (gasp) code ..."
You can download your own copy of Recoll 1.8 here. You need Qt 3.3 (or qt 4) in all cases (configure Recoll with configure --enable-qt4 to build with qt4). Further details are in the Recoll installation manual.
You can view some more screenshots here.
