On windows, I use Foxit reader's advanced search to look up terms in multiple PDF documents in a directory.
I like how flawless and quick it is moving from one document to another and from one search result to another.
As I'm moving to Linux I'm trying to find alternatives.
On Linux, I couldn't find any open source reader that has the same functionality.
Recoll does the job and it's faster.
The issue is that moving from one document to another is a pain, as I should click open on every document which will open a new window.
Foxit on windows allows navigation with keyboard and open new results in a new tab in the same window. Foxit for Linux is unbearable, it laggy with an ugly GUI.
Is there anyway that I can customize Recoll to be integrated with any PDF reader (e.g Okular) to be as effortless as Foxit reader in multiple document search?
I learnt about Recoll from this question: Search text within multiple pdfs and docs.
I need a way to integrate it with Okular to have instant navigation from one document to another.
