Of course! I’ve forgotten exactly what I was intending to accomplish
by converting to HTML - I believe I was generating citations - but
recoll should be able to index plain text without issue. This will
probably work better for org files, as well, since you can search the
complete content.

This is great, especially for me, as I’ve been using ivy lately.

I believe that you can rewrite using the recoll tool directly instead
of recollq, using `recoll -t -b 'search string'`:

(defun counsel-recoll-function (string &optional _pred &rest _unused)
  "Grep in the current directory for STRING."
  (if (< (length string) 3)
      (counsel-more-chars 3)
    (counsel--async-command
     (format "recoll -t -b '%s'" string))
    nil))

If you use `recoll -A -t 'search string'` and do some post processing
you could get snippets, too. I can’t see how to do that easily with
counsel--async-command, though.

best, Erik
