The following sample would query the index with a user language string. See the
python/samples directory inside the Recoll source for other
examples. The recollgui subdirectory has a very embryonic GUI which
demonstrates the highlighting and data extraction functions.
#!/usr/bin/python3
from recoll import recoll
db = recoll.connect()
db.setAbstractParams(maxchars=80, contextwords=4)
query = db.query()
nres = query.execute("some user question")
print("Result count: %d" % nres)
if nres > 5:
nres = 5
for i in range(nres):
doc = query.fetchone()
print("Result #%d" % (query.rownumber))
for k in ("title", "size"):
print("%s : %s" % (k, getattr(doc, k)))
print("%s\n" % db.makeDocAbstract(doc, query))
