- Find files containing "foo", and print the line matches in context:
`ag foo`
- Find files containing "foo" in a specific directory:
`ag foo {{path/to/directory}}`
- Find files containing "foo", but only list the filenames:
`ag {{[-l|--files-with-matches]}} foo`
- Find files containing "FOO" case-insensitively, and print only the match, rather than the whole line:
`ag {{[-i|--ignore-case]}} {{[-o|--only-matching]}} FOO`
- Find "foo" in files with a name matching "bar":
`ag foo {{[-G|--file-search-regex]}} bar`
- Find files whose contents match a `regex`:
`ag '{{^ba(r|z)$}}'`
- Find files with a name matching "foo":
`ag {{[-g|--filename-pattern]}} foo`
