Describe your question, feature request, or bug.

I found that Leaderf! rg search string under directory same with :pwd, but Leaderf file search files under working directory which indicated by g:Lf_RootMarkers. Why they have different behaves?
I already set this in my init.vim:

let g:Lf_RootMarkers = ['.project', '.root', '.svn', '.git']
let g:Lf_WorkingDirectoryMode = 'Ac'

Can I get the root working directory and set it to rg path?

Steps to reproduce

directory structure:

my-project (root working directory)
  - .git
  - sub-folder
    - test.c

open test.c using neovim, use Leaderf rg -e to search something.

Actual behaviour

searching under my-project path.

Expected behaviour

searching under sub-folder path.

[Yggdroot]

Yes, Leaderf rg always starts from cwd, g:Lf_RootMarkers and g:Lf_WorkingDirectoryMode are only for Leaderf file, so you want that Leaderf rg has the same behavior as Leaderf file when using g:Lf_RootMarkers and g:Lf_WorkingDirectoryMode?

[xaljer]

@Yggdroot ,
Yes, I think project-wide searching is useful. Is there/Could you provide an option or a method to do this?

[Yggdroot]

Actual behaviour

searching under my-project path.

Expected behaviour

searching under sub-folder path.

I don't understand your expectation, I think the current behavior is the expected behavior.

[xaljer]

sorry, my mistake. The actual behaviour is searching under sub-folder path, and my expected behaviour is searching under project path, always, just like LeaderfFile. As your explained, this is not bug, but a feature request. That is provide an option to make:

Leaderf rg has the same behavior as Leaderf file when using g:Lf_RootMarkers and g:Lf_WorkingDirectoryMode

[Yggdroot]

Now you can use Leaderf rg like this:

Leaderf rg --wd-mode=ac -e xxx

--wd-mode <MODE>      Specify the working directory mode, value has the same
                        meaning as g:Lf_WorkingDirectoryMode.
