I take it that you started the GUI program, recoll, from the command line ?
This depends on Qt and a bunch of associated libraries of course.
I think that you have two possible approaches:
- Install the standard package and its dependancies, forget about the 200
MBs, and only use the command-line indexer recollindex.
- Build the package yourself, to get rid of all Qt and X11 dependancies.

rclmon.sh is a script which can be used to start and stop the indexer,
recollindex, typically when entering and exiting a desktop session. It
could be modified for other uses, by adjusting the options to the
recollindex command (typically add -x -w 0 in your case). Can't remember if
it is installed or where, but it's in the source, in the index/ directory
(e.g. on bitbucket).

I think that you will only need "man recollindex" or a look at the recoll
manual: http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/usermanual.html
There is nothing in Recoll which forces the use of the GUI program,
"recoll". Not needed for indexing at all, and you can use the command-line
recollq or the webui for searching.
So the guide to headlessness is just: read the "recollindex" man page and the
configuration section of the user doc, and don't use the GUI :)
