ag.el

Ag.el allows you to search using ag from inside Emacs. You can filter by file type, edit results inline, or find files.

Ag.el tries very hard to be Do-What-I-Mean, and will make intelligent suggestions about what to search and which directories to search in.

Alternatives

• There's an ag plugin for helm: https://github.com/syohex/emacs-helm-ag

Todo

• Remove *-at-point commands in favour of always defaulting to the symbol at point.
• Add aliases for the old command names to ensure backward compatibility.
• Modify ag-regexp-project-at-point to quote the default search string, otherwise "foo.bar" will match other things.
