+
+~consult-recoll~ builds on the asychronous logic inside =consult.el=, so
+you can use consult's handy
[[https://github.com/minad/consult#asynchronous-search][two-level filtering]],
which allows
+searching over the results of a query. For example, if you start
+typing
+
+ #goedel's theorem
+
+see a bunch of results, and want to narrow them to those lines
+matching, say, "hofstadter", you can type ~#~ (which stops further
+recoll queries) followed by the term you're interested in:
+
+ #goedel's theorem#hofstadter
+
+at which point only matches containing "hofstadter" will be offered.
