Problem / Steps to reproduce

I am definitely missing something because I am finding that fzf is not always searching recursively.

In my terminal, I'm at /opt/homebrew and run fzf and search for "squid" and I get these things back

But when I then manually cd into /opt/homebrew/etc/ and run fzf again and search for "squid", not I actually find the files I'm looking for

Why did fzf not search fully recursively from the directory that was one up?
Didn't work from /opt/homebrew
But worked from /opt/homebrew/etc
The file is located at /opt/homebrew/etc/squid.conf

Do you have $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND or $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS defined?

himat commented

I have FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND defined

╰─❯ echo $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND
rg --files --hidden

╰─❯ echo $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS

Then try rg --files --hidden | grep squid in /opt/homebrew and see if you get the result.

I see, that didn't work. So I guess it's a problem with rg then, thanks

I did rg --files --no-ignore | grep squid and now it works
Turns out homebrew's /opt/homebrew/ dir is a cloned git dir and contains a .gitignore with only certain files/dirs unignored, so seems like that's why rg is ignoring certain dirs.
