People, I have been using Recoll for more than a decade - to begin with I configured it for using a continuous update of the Xapian DB but I found that slowed the system down too much during normal use - and also I started finding that searches were not working for some strings / files when they should have been so I took to periodically using: rm -f /home/phr/.recoll/xapiandb/* ; recollindex -Z ; recoll -q docsdone -t when I knew the workstation would be unused for a while. Now, instead of hours, it is taking a couple of days to rebuild the DB (on an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor with 64Gb RAM) so now I think I will have go back to NO deletion and recreation of the DB but to do periodic updating. My question is: If I find that new files are not having their text added to the DB again, how do I debug what is going wrong?
