But the point I was arguing was based on Recoll's technical merits, not whether it is or isn't more popular or should or shouldn't be. > Recoll is soundly engineered, is true to its own design criteria, and > is dedicated to supporting its end-users. That may all be true, but it's still inferior (IMHO) to Beagle in the category of instantly indexing and being friendly to the disk (and the user). b.
