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. :)

Recoll
A cross-platform desktop search engine that can search through 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.
