Is it possible to use recoll for search results in Nemo?

Post by openletter »

I have installed recoll from PPA and it works great.

Is there a way to use it to provide search results for Nemo?

I don't know if/how that can be done.

For a similar feature do a search for "improved search" at this website:

The newer Nemo is fantastic, but it still isn't the same as having a search index.

For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.

Thank you. It looks like I can create the search-helper and I'll come back and post when get it working correctly.
