After executing ag in cmd.exe, the color scheme is changed and has to be reset.

I'm using ag-2020-07-05_2.2.0-58-g5a1c8d8-x64 & x86 in vim with ack and ag seems to be ignoring my .gitignore file by default or failing to use it.

I have tried adding a .agignore file and even a _agignore file to the root folder of the projects but nothing seems to function.
Can you help me?

I've been using ag in linux for a couple of years and always worked fine but recently I have moved back to windows and strugling again with this kind of things.

I'm trying to search an very large collection of files:

• 60,000 files, 800GB, 450 folders.

With the following command:
ag.exe -i SearchQuery

A few files are scanned and then the application crashes, opening a debug in Visual studio shows the following:

Unhandled exception at 0x0000000000400074 in ag.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation executing location 0x0000000000400074.

Not really sure where to go from here. Any help is welcome.
Thanks!

please consider using simpler file names for releases.

Example: ag-2.2.0.22-x64.zip

instead of ag-2020-01-11_2.2.0-22-ga509a81-x64.zip

It makes it possible to discover new releases in package managers automatically (e.g. https://www.npackd.org/p/ag64)

Hi, I'm planning to submit a pull request to Chocolatey's ag package that uses your Windows builds. I noticed that Chocolatey packages require linking to a LICENSE file. Can you add a LICENSE file to this repository?

Thank you.

UNIX versions offer --search-documents but this doesn't seem to be the case for Windows.

Hi All,

I have a file that's nearly 4GB, but I can't search through it:

> ag 10008488 master.tx
ERR: File master.tx failed to load: The parameter is incorrect.

I'm using ag-2019-02-17_2.2.0-11-g4f7aca7-x64.zip from
https://github.com/k-takata/the_silver_searcher-win32/releases

Is this because 4GB files won't work with ag?

when I run for example:

ag --cmake foo

this ag returns:

C:\tools\chocoportable\lib\ag\tools\ag.exe: unknown option -- cmake

whereas my MinGW and Linux build from their master branch supports searching for cmake files.

Can you explain?

P.S. Thanks for your efforts. 👍

Using ag-2019-03-23_2.2.0-19-g965f71d-x86 and noticed that --nogroup does not function when --nofilename is specified.

--nobreak does so I got what I needed, but this seemed like unwanted behavior.

On linux, ag handles .gitignore patterns like the following just fine:

[Bb]in/
[Oo]bj/

On Windows, these patterns are not recognized. They have to be written as:

Bin/
bin/
Obj/
obj/

Is this something that could be improved in the Windows variant of ag?
