Add recoll engine (#2325)
recoll is a local search engine based on Xapian: http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/ By itself recoll does not offer web or API access, this can be achieved using recoll-webui: https://framagit.org/medoc92/recollwebui.git This engine uses a custom 'files' result template set `base_url` to the location where recoll-webui can be reached set `dl_prefix` to a location where the file hierarchy as indexed by recoll can be reached set `search_dir` to the part of the indexed file hierarchy to be searched, use an empty string to search the entire search domain

+ Location where recoll-webui can be reached.
+
+``mount_prefix``:
+ Location where the file hierarchy is mounted on your *local* filesystem.
+
+``dl_prefix``:
+ Location where the file hierarchy as indexed by recoll can be reached.
+
+``search_dir``:
+ Part of the indexed file hierarchy to be search, if empty the full domain is
+ searched.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+Scenario:
+
+#. Recoll indexes a local filesystem mounted in ``/export/documents/reference``,
