Describe your bug.

Ripgrep ignores files named .config and I can't seem to be able to change that. I tried --no-ignore, --no-ignore-files, --no-ignore-global

What are the steps to reproduce the behavior?

• create a file .config
• put some text in it (like "some text")
• run rg some or rg text
• find nothing

Also

• rg --debug anything

...
rg: DEBUG|ignore::walk|crates/ignore/src/walk.rs:1799: ignoring ./.config: Ignore(IgnoreMatch(Hidden))
...

What is the actual behavior?

$ mkdir folder
$ cd folder
$ echo 'some text' > .config
$ rg some
rg: No files were searched, which means ripgrep probably applied a filter you didn't expect.
Running with --debug will show why files are being skipped.

What is the expected behavior?

Find a match in file .config

The second sentence of the README says (emphasis mine):

By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files.

The GUIDE explicitly discusses what types of automatic filtering are employed and also how to disable or configure each one.

Finally, the debug logs you've included explicitly tell you the file is being ignored because it is hidden.

Use the -./--hidden flag to search hidden files.
