I also use recoll, and am quite happy with it, but in response to
the OP's mail, I checked all over to verify that it can index gzipped
archives, and I could find no mention of any gzip support, neither in
the docs, nor on the website, nor anywhere else on the net. Zip is
mentioned, but not gzip, which certainly sounds odd for a *nix project.
