I use it on unstable with few problems. All packages will have outstanding bugs. Best to do indexing using the recollindex program, niced 19, in the background. Works without a hitch and one does not know it is running. KDE's Strigi/Nepomuk have been resource hawgs and can bug down the system. One cannot control their niceness. This may be/get fixed in later KDE versions, hopefully. I have a recoll-runner on kde-look for using recoll in KDE.
