Move counsel search commands list to variable. Help with extend other commands (for example spacemacs/counsel-search)

Please write full sentences, where the first non-keyword word is capitalised and the sentence ends in a full stop. How about the following:

"List of Counsel search commands."

[basil-conto]

Is there any reason why this variable is defined so far away from its call site? What is this variable's purpose? What other use-cases for this variable are there? Wouldn't it be safer to initialise this variable to nil and have something like

(cl-pushnew #'counsel-git-grep counsel--search-commands)

after every search command is defined?

1. That's my fault.
2. make more customizable, without overriding whole function such as ivy--highlight-default
3. i am not looking so far, but store commands in variable more correctly. For example after appending new command (like spacemacs did), we don't need edit source code or override func (how i said in previous comment)
4. i'm agree. it's better.

Sorry, I didn't realise I was looking at ivy.el; I thought this was in counsel.el.

Given that this is being used in ivy.el, and given that its intented purpose is as an external API, it has to be given the ivy- (not ivy-- or counsel-) prefix and a name more related to its purpose, e.g. ivy-highlight-search-commands (I'm not very good at naming things, perhaps @abo-abo has a better suggestion).

Thanks, I've made some stylistic changes. Please review.

thanks.
