Mmmouark ark! ark! ark! (sardonic laugh) Recoll text is unsearchable, that's
part of the plan for word domination.
More seriously, set up the recoll.conf that you use for indexing the recoll
source so that you get a detailed log:
logfilename = /tmp/mylogforrecoll
loglevel = 6
Then perform a full indexing pass:
recollindex -z -c /path/to/the/confdir/for/indexing/recoll
And look in the file to see what happens to .cpp files (to make things
easier, search for a file whose name won't be listed as a message origin,
like for example ssearch_w.cpp).
If nothing obvious appears, please send me the log fragment for one of these
files. Maybe I'll see something, else we'll check how you perform the
queries too.
By the way, with recent versions (at least since 1.14), you should not have
to change mimemap all that much, .c, .cpp, .cc, and .h files are supposedly
indexed as text (I just added .cxx).
Cheers,
