How do I get statistics about my recoll index?

  • 772

I recently installed recoll and its Unity lens, and started indexing most of my home drive. Photos, Documents, music, sourcecode, everything.

It is still running (no surprise there) and I would like to know how big the index is now. But neither recoll nor recollindex seem to give a command line option to display statistics about the index, and I didn't find an option in the GUI either.

How do I get statistics about the index?

    You can get raw statistics about the index size by checking the size of the index directory, by default ~/.recoll/xapiandb: du ~/.recoll/xapiandb

    With a recent Recoll version, you can also get more structured statistics from the Recoll GUI: open the "Term explorer" tool (yes I know, not too intuitive...), and choose the "Index statistics" entry from the top dropdown list
