About your > question specific to Ivy+Recoll, it's already out there by the Ivy author > himself: https://oremacs.com/2015/07/27/counsel-recoll/ thanks for the pointer. Actually I had tried to used the code in that page but it was giving me "Error 127", but then I realized I already have that version defined in counsel.el in my distribution of ivy/swiper. Now I manage to get it working, but I don't like the result too much since I get a dynamic list of files that match my query, but without any context, and then I have to open one by one and do a search inside the file. It looks like: http://picpaste.com/counsel-recoll-wDwS45L8.png What I would like is something more like what you get in the Recoll GUI (or, for example, when you do a multi-occur search), where you get a buffer with the files matching, together with some context and an easy way to open a particular file at the point where the match was found. Something like: http://picpaste.com/counsel-recoll-mo-uQUXHGey.png Any ideas? Many thanks, -- Ángel de Vicente http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com/
