The way to specify things to be indexed is to set the "topdirs" variable inside someconfdir/recoll.conf. This can be set by editing the file or from the indexing configuration section of the GUI. What is the value of this variable inside 'someconfdir' in the above test ? Furthermore, additional args have always been ignored by recollindex if neither -i nor -e was set. I just checked that this was true of 1.17 Did you actually mean to type "-i some/path" in the above report ? In this case, some/path still needs to be inside the indexed area. I just also checked that this was already the case with 1.17 Test: recollindex 1.17.4, ~/projets is not in topdirs: recollindex -c ~/.recoll -i ~/projets Diagnostic in the log file: :4:../index/fsindexer.cpp:168:FsIndexer::indexFiles: skipping [/home/dockes/projets] (ntd) (ntd means not in top dirs). So, at this point, I am at a loss to explain what you could do with 1.17 that you can not do with 1.20...
