Rather, coded properly it should just open the search remotely. Grep can do that so I suppose it's just some bad quoting in this package.
Emacs is rather transparent when it comes to TRAMP (the T there gives a hint) :) It would certainly be nice, in fact, that's the reason I fallback to grep on remote searches.
Actually, it works for me just fine. Your problem is that you don't have ag
installed on the other end. Quite naturally it has to run there and not on your machine.
My problem was actually related to dired and that also seems to be fixed.
On my machine, the output of
ag --version
is:ag version 0.32.0 Features: +jit +lzma +zlib
My Emacs version is:
GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0, NS appkit-1404.46 Version 10.11.4 (Build 15E65)) of 2016-04-28
I'm using: OSX El Capitan
The error I get is this:
It would be awesome if ag.el could detect this and say something like "Can't search a remote filesystem!".
