Just my home directory. Still a lot of flies, nearly a million.
Once the index was built, the search is crazy fast.
Whilst I think that recoll's searching mechanism is better than what I can patch together with find and grep, is recoll really the right tool for the entire home directory? I'm currently using it to search my email because Thunderbird doesn't work that well and I've pointed it to my documentation so I can search through my projects easier.
