Sometimes it is not highlighted when searching

search without highlight example

search with highlight example

• [x ] I have fzf 0.23.0 or above
• [y ] I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/blob/master/README.md
• [y ] I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md
• [y ] I have read through the manual page of fzf (man fzf)
• [ y] I have searched through the existing issues

The highlighting you see in the second image is the result of &hlsearch option of Vim (:nohl will clear the highlight). fzf doesn't control how the matches are highlighted in its window. &hlsearch is a global option, so if I'm not mistaken, it's not possible to turn it off only in the fzf window.

oh , thanks !
but how can I configure the built-in search of fzf to achieve more recognizable text highlighting?

You want it for all commands, or only for :Rg?

To apply it globally, add some --color options in your $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS.

# See "man fzf" for more options
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--color hl:underline:reverse,hl+:underline:reverse'

You can do this in your Vim configuration file

let $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = '--color hl:underline:reverse,hl+:underline:reverse'

A few caveats:

• This may not work if you have g:fzf_colors defined as it overrides the color options.
  • I'm also going to address this so that text attributes can still be applied.
    • junegunn/fzf@e0a22e7
• This currently won't work with :Ag or :Rg, because they internally override the --color option. I'm going to have to remove the code.
  • Fixed in 8fa9cf0.

To apply the color settings to an individual command, you have to redefine each command using their functions (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim#vim-functions). For example,

command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files
    \ call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, fzf#vim#with_preview({'options': '--color hl:underline:reverse,hl+:underline:reverse'}), <bang>0)

This gives you the maximum flexibility but it can be quite tedious.
