Desktop search on Tumbleweed : Recoll or similar applications
Hi, A few weeks ago I decided to move all my desktop installations from OpenSUSE Leap to Tumbleweed, since it looks like the latter gets more love from the developers. So far things look good. I only have a small number of details to tackle. Under Leap I've been using Recoll, a nifty desktop search application that's quite powerful, though it's also a bit of a resource hog. https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/ Under Leap the Recoll package was provided by the KDE:Extra repository. Now I have a few questions. 1) If I want to use Recoll under Tumbleweed, what's the recommended way to install it ? 2) Can you guys recommend a similar desktop search application ? Recoll is great for finding the proverbial needle in the haystack, like for example a single sentence in gigabytes of mail archives, or even a character string in a PDF or even a Word document. But maybe there are other applications out there that do the job well ?

It is not repository, it is project
Now I have a few questions.

Use openSUSE_Tumbleweed repository from the same project.

Thanks for the heads up. I added the KDE:Extras repository and installed Recoll from it. Works perfectly.
