rg.el not searching django.po files with "all"

[jidicula]

Thanks for creating this package! It's a great wrapper around ripgrep and I use it many times every day. I lean heavily on this tool when trying to understand a new codebase, so it's been invaluable in my onboarding to new projects.

I'm trying to use rg.el to search the contents of django.po translation files in a particular project, but for some reason they're not being indexed when using the all file specifier. The peculiar thing is that I can search those files successfully when running rg from the shell, but not from this package. I don't have any flags enabled that would otherwise be filtering those files out, and those files are not in my .gitignore either.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Update: I just tried setting *.po in the file specifier and I can search in those files!

Is the behaviour of all to only work with a few specific filetypes (I notice a list of language choices when using tab to expand completion options) rather than indeed searching all files in the project?

The definition of all is to search all defined file types, both those internally defined in ripgrep binary and those you add in rg-custom-type-aliases. everything is what you would like to use for searching all files without considering defined aliases.

Oh ok thanks!
