Re: John's amazing indexing posts

There is also a helm-recoll package available. I came across recoll a
few weeks ago when I saw that package! It also basically worked as
advertised and I am just looking forward to some free time to figure out
how to get the super focused search I worked out for swish-e.

Has anyone tried using emacsclient for the html export? Maybe that would
speed up indexing if a whole new emacs isn't spun up each time.
