RG hangs when the search folder is too big #12

When I search for a common word across a huge directory RG is causing EMACS to hang, RG buffer says compiling, is there a way we can cancel the search in progress.

You can use kill-rg but that needs a responding emacs so I assume that does not work in your case. Killing the rg subprocess from command line should work if emacs is non responsive.

I will close this as fixed by #17. Please reopen if you can still reproduce it.
