- Recursively search the current directory for a regular expression:
`rg {{regular_expression}}`
- Search for regular expressions recursively in the current directory, including hidden files and files listed in `.gitignore`:
`rg --no-ignore --hidden {{regular_expression}}`
- Search for a regular expression only in a subset of directories:
`rg {{regular_expression}} {{set_of_subdirs}}`
- Search for a regular expression in files matching a glob (e.g. `README.*`):
`rg {{regular_expression}} --glob {{glob}}`
- Search for filenames that match a regular expression:
`rg --files | rg {{regular_expression}}`
- Only list matched files (useful when piping to other commands):
`rg --files-with-matches {{regular_expression}}`
- Show lines that do not match the given regular expression:
`rg --invert-match {{regular_expression}}`
- Search a literal string pattern:
`rg --fixed-strings -- {{string}}`
