Please tell me how to display in the result sheet the full string of the word you are looking for, and not in pieces as in default in Recoll,I'll try in more detail: I have recoll installed on my computer (which uses Xapian). There are so many files. I want to use recall as an alternative to grep I indexed my data and search, but in the resultant window I do not like the output: I want the whole row to be highlighted as if in a grepe, where I have the search word and output it immediately to the Result Sheet. And now it looks like it gives out a piece of text where the searched word is found, but only partially, then it is divided by several points and again a piece of text, and again. You can see an example in the image, for example here (default settings) https://i0.wp.com/www.linuxlinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-Recoll.jpg?resize=768%2C596&ssl=1

This is how recoll works. It shows you "snippets" of text around the search hits. You can adjust the snippets parameters (size and number of context words) in the preferences Gui Configuration, Search Parameters section. You can also hit Preview, and then shift down/up arrows, to browse the result documents previews, for a more complete view.
