I have run Recoil which created a database for my data partition on my internal hard drive. The database is stored under my home partition in the same internal hard drive.

I now want to run Recoil to create a database for a dicrectory on my external hard drive, and store this new database on that external hard drive, because my internal hard drive doesn’t have enough space to hold the new database. I wos wondering if Recoil can do that?

Thanks!

Yes you can use multiple indexes. To create a separate configuration:

mkdir /path/to/my/newconf
recoll -c /path/to/my/newconf

Also see: http://www.recoll.org/usermanual/rcl.indexing.config.html#RCL.INDEXING.CONFIG.MULTIPLE

To search multiple indexes at once, see: http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/rcl.search.html#RCL.SEARCH.GUI.MULTIDB
