Note that a newer version in a stable Mageia release is only allowed if it is a pure bugfix update, and there are no new features.
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy#Version_Policy

Please tell more about the search glitches you experience. Is it easily reproducable?

CC'ing recoll committers, since there's no maintainer

CC: (none) => cjw, dglent, fundawang, marja11, supp, thierry.vignaud

Example:
1) In the Advanced search dialog, when selecting "Any caluse", the "Restrict results to files in subtree" does not restrict. Easily reproduced. ( the two dialog tabs but with other settings can be seen at http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/pics/recoll2.html )

2) There are also other combinations i think are not working correctly, but i have neither taken a deeper dive (possibly i simply do not understand the interface/naming) nor feedbacked to autor as the version I use is the old one in mga5 and i think further test should be in the current stable version.

I read the search gui is improved, so i was thinking/hoping the issues are gone.
(but i dont know)

1.20.6 is the stable one that have been out a few months. Apart from above, it  improves performance, and add Qt5.3.2+ compatibility.

1.21 also changes the way searches are executed, but is still dubbed development version, so is only for cauldron.

I think there are not much feature added, but performance and bugfix (like
" The Open/LibreOffice document filter does not output white space for tab-separated words in input, leading to search failures and performance improvement." ) which may lead to user not finding what he looks for.

I dont think updating recoll will be a risk (it is not like an office package.  Rebuilding the database after update is recommended but not strictly needed.
And easily done from user interface File>Rebuild.

I believe recoll is the best file indexer we have so i think it is good to keep it in shape :)

I use also Recoll and as we have stayed long time in freeze i have installed in my system mga5 the version 1.20.6 in qt5 since June 2015 without any problem.
As we provide Qt > 5.3.2 we should have in mga5 the updated package and not the old 1.19.14p
It doesn't need the update of any other package.
If there is no any objection, i could update it in mga5 updates to 1.20.6

* I confirm that it works the restrict to file name in advanced search as described in the comment #2 , in version 1.20.6.

Thank you, sounds good to me.
I can test mga5 64 bit if you put it in updates testing.

I was about to treat this and i realised that the new version 1.20.6 is in 5 updates testing already...
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/5/x86_64/media/core/updates_testing/recoll-1.20.6-3.mga5.x86_64.rpm

Ah, nice, i see in change log fwang was really quick, and reference this bug.
@ fwang, please commmunicate; assign it too you and/or post in the bug when you start working to avoid double work.

Thanks for your work wang! :)
        

I uninstalled recoll (all 6 *recoll* packages) and xapian, enabled and updated the updates testing repo.

Now when i install recoll-full it pulls in one package that the earlier version did not pull in: aspell-en  (suggests i presume, as i can deselect it and recoll installs anyway)  I already have aspell-sv and aspell... and now i chose manually aspell-en

I think the change think the change is good, most everybody have at least a bunch english documents...

Note recoll report a missing helper: python-epub


Testing it, it still fail my test 1) in comment #2 maybe i do something stupid?
  I do like this:
0) first i remove and let it build a new database just to be sure it is fresh
1) recoll meny Tools -> Advanced search.
2) in the filter tab in bottom field "Restrict results to files in subtree" i enter the folder tree in which i want to search for a word (simple test). All three checkboxes above left are unchecked.
3) in the Find tab i at top row right enter the word i want to find in that subtree.  Al else is per default (I presume: all middle dropdowns show "No field" and the dropboxes left of them show from top to bottom: Any, Phrase, None, None, None.
4a) set the top left dropdown to "All clauses" and press "Start Search".  Result: it finds all documents in that subtree that contain the given word.
4b) change that dropdown to "Any clause"  and press "Start Search".  Result: it returns findings inside that subtree *and other places* !

I have a feeling that the logic "any" spills over to not care of location, but it would be strange if such bug have not been corrected for so long...

If someone here confirm, i will issue bug at the recoll developer bug handler.

( A minor issue is that nordic characters in "File name" column of the result list when viewed as table are shown as ??  (same characters are shown correctly in other columns.) )

> Note recoll report a missing helper: python-epub

Sorry, i was wrong; after rebuild of database it say "no missing helpers" = OK :)

( From menu File > Show_missing_helpers )

I find it works OK on mga5-64. Did not try in Qt5 but Dimitrios tested that OK.
(i find no regression, and the issues i mention are probably not mageia specific)

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-64-OK

Test OK mageia 5 32 bit:  It had not have recoll before, now installed recoll-full, works OK.

On my wifes install mga5-64 nordic characters appear correctly in "File name" column. Strange.

Whiteboard: MGA5-64-OK => MGA5-64-OK MGA5-32-OK

The bug i described in comment 2 point 1) is confirmed by developer
https://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/issues/269/advanced-search-restrict-results-to-files  so it is not packaging related.

The bug i reported is fixed upstream and the current Recoll version is 1.21.3
http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/
If someone builds i can test it on mga5-64

The 1.21.3 is uploaded in updates testing

Thanks.  Test on mga5 64 bit OK: Packaging seem OK and bugs fixed.
( uninstall old, install new recoll-full, rebuild index, search )

Ok, (in my comment 3 i hadn't use the filters tab, only the filter in the first tab ...)

Advisory:
========================

Updated recoll package with fixes and new features
Among others it fixes the filter of query in sub-folders (mga#16744)
According the developer notes, Recoll 1.21 becomes the production version.

It is suggested (not mandatory) to reset the index after updating from 1.19
