+Recoll_ is a desktop full-text search tool based on Xapian. By itself Recoll_
+does not offer web or API access, this can be achieved using recoll-webui_
+
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+You must configure the following settings:
+
+``base_url``:
+ 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

+
+#. Recoll indexes a local filesystem mounted in ``/export/documents/reference``,
