About: FZF and: AG Search Paths

[gongchencurry]

• [x] I have fzf 0.30.0 or above
• [x] I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/blob/master/README.md
• [x] I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md
• [x] I have read through the manual page of fzf (man fzf)
• [x] I have searched through the existing issues

I have a code project named test under the $HOME path. The code structure is as follows

:~/test$ tree . ├── a │   ├── 1.c │   ├── 2.c │   └── c │   └── 3.c └── b ├── 4.c └── 5.c

// I open the 1.c file :~/test$ vi a/1.c

At this point :FZF can find 4. c and 5. c :AG can match the content I want in 4. c and 5. c

However, once the project becomes huge and files become numerous,:FZF and :AG can only detect the same level directory of the opened files, and files in the outer directory cannot be detected

Can someone tell me what the reason is and what solutions are available Thank you.

Check if you have autochdir enable in your vim/nvim config, as it will cd to current dir of opening file and :FZF and :AG will use that dir to detect files.

Okay, but what if I don't want to change the autochdir setting and I just want to give :Ag a path to use?

i think u can change it via command mode in (n)vim: : cd <path_here>

some plugin will load up its top dir by checking if it's a git repo or smth like that but to have :rg or :ag do search on current folder, u can force set it via cd, u can even save current path and then cd to current dir, do rg/ag, then restore that path later after using :rg or :ag.

Indeed, this works:

:exec 'cd' GetGitRoot() | :Ag
