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...
