+- Recursively search for a pattern in a file or directory:
 
-`rg --no-ignore --hidden {{regular_expression}}`
+`rg {{pattern}} {{path/to/directory}}`

+- Recursively list filenames in the current directory that match a pattern:
 
-`rg --files | rg {{regular_expression}}`
+`rg --files | rg {{pattern}}`
