counsel-ag: Search and match the whole word
Published on Sep 15, 2021, by Junji Zhi
ag supports the option `-w` to match the whole word. We could find a way to pass this command option in as a prefix argument.
As mentioned in searching and filtering by file name, I like to bind (counsel-projectile-ag) to a common shortcut, Super + f (or s-f), so that I can pass the universal argument with C-u to filter results.
Example: To search the word coffee I would do:
- Press
C-u s-f - Type
-w - Type search string
coffeeand press enter
