+Recoll is a personal full text search tool for Unix/Linux.
+It is based on the very strong Xapian backend, for which it 
+provides an easy to use, feature-rich, easy administration, 
+QT graphical interface. Recoll is able to include several separate 
+folders ("Top directories") in its search.
 
 This requires xapian-core, with optional dependencies of antiword, unrtf,
 and exiftool (all available at SlackBuilds.org).
-
-This version has the ability to define the folders that shall be
-indexed from within the program's GUI. Manually editing the config files
-should no longer be necessary.
