Gabriel Arazas 25dafd751c Make revisions on the skill-related notes
In this case, it's mostly about the additional perspectives on how
learning works from the act of managing your information through various
note-taking methods.

I also restructured the note on org-babel and moved as its own note on
the hierarchical notebook. I think summarizing a tool and giving my own
comments about it is a nicer way of describing it. Plus, I can freely
link between any other types of note so I figured it would be better.

That said, I should be picky on how to make org-roam entries. And also
org-roam v2 is better, after all. :)

A [[https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/][cross-platform desktop search engine]] that can search through [[id:ccb3bc14-a801-4ed0-b066-50b1bcd853aa][File metadata]] from various formats including HTML, text files, PDF, and more.
It can be automated easily with the command line and it has a GUI available as well as various third-party frontends.
Moreover, it has a Python 3 API that can extend Recoll for support to additional file formats, for example.
Like most web search engines, it searches through an index which has to be generated first (i.e., ~recollindex~).
With the file changes, the index has to be regenerated.
Recoll is an example of a developer-oriented application.
It has extensive user documentation that lets you extend Recoll through your own.
It features both a command line program and a graphical interface for a user-friendly option or a different way of navigation.
