Any ideas why ack is search all the files? #208

Neovim 0.1.7 Mac Sierra fzf 0.16.6 ack 2.14

So, I installed Ack today. When I ran :Ack, it searched all my files of the current directory, isn't it supposed to open a window so I can enter search query?

The default behavior is that if you run :Ack with no query, ack.vim will perform a search for the word currently under your cursor (:help <cword> and :help g:ack_use_cword_for_empty_search).

You are expected to give a query to the command, like :Ack searchterm [optional subdirectory], the plugin doesn't interactively prompt you for a query. Please see :help ack.
