An option for specifying the directory for ag or rg #81

An option for specifying the directory in which ag or rg will parse through. I noticed that if I run ag or rg through my project's src directory(C++), it will map everything. Especially ag seems to work just fine without E474 bug. (E474 bug with rg but no bug with ag). The problem is ag is not searching the right directory . So if it was possible to let ag know which directory it should be searching, all the problems(AKA Bug E474 not working with rg) would go away or am I wrong?

A couple things I'd love to see:

Determine the search directory from the file path. I noticed that if I'm in ~/foo/bar and I edit ~/project/src/code.py, any-jump doesn't find anything, since the code isn't in my working directory.
Ability to specify an explicit list of directories to search. I often work in a large monorepo; searching the whole thing with ag/rg is not possible, but they can comfortably search from a set of "project roots" that are of interest.
