    -- Make sure this matches the command you want to use and the command pass to setup

        user_command_prompt = "Tf",
        user_command_cursor = "Tfc",
        user_command_live = "Tfl",
        -- rg options, a lua table of options to pass to rg as default,

        -- Default: nil
        -- See `rg --help` for more options
        rg_options = nil,

  },
})

Usage

You can either search for any text or search for the word under the cursor.

Search for text

Search for text in your project via the command:

:Tf <rg-flags> <search-term>

or via calling a lua function:

require('tafuta').run({"[rg-flag1]", "[rg-flag2]", "[search_term]"})

Example

Search for "Neovim version" in the project:

Note

You need to escape all spaces in the search term, when using the user command.

:Tf --hidden --no-ignore Neovim\ version

or via calling a lua function:

require('tafuta').run({"--hidden", "--no-ignore", "Neovim version"})

Example without flags

Also with default options and without flags:

:Tf Neovim\ version

or via calling a lua function:

require('tafuta').run({"Neovim version"})

Search for word under cursor

You can also search for the word under the cursor via:

:Tfc

or via calling a lua function:

require('tafuta').cursor()

Live search

You can also search with live results via:

Note

You need to escape all spaces in the live search

:Tfl

or via calling a lua function:

require('tafuta').live()

Tip

You can also pass flags to the live search Just prepend your flags to the command like so: --hidden --no-ignore --smart-case Search\ for\ word
