Use advanced script with altered search command

[moritzdietz]

Hi all

I would like to use the script linked here https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/ADVANCED.md#controlling-ripgrep-search-and-fzf-search-simultaneously but use a different search command.

I'd like to use

fd --hidden --follow --no-ignore --full-path

I tried the following:

1. Added and exported FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd --hidden --no-ignore --type f --full-path' in my ZSH session
2. Added and exported the same variable inside of the Bash script
3. Prepended the variable to the fzf command
4. Used a new .zshrc with no configuration to ensure a minimal setup

Running fd --hidden --no-ignore --type f --full-path | fzf yields the files I am looking for.

What am I doing wrong here? Would love to get some pointers. Thanks!

The FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND variable sets the default command when input is tty. This script sets ripgrep as the file search command (fzf just filters the returned list). To achieve what you want, change the ripgrep command to rg --hidden --follow --no-ignore --column --line-number --no-heading --color=always --smart-case %q $(pwd) || true" "$rg_pat".

Perfect! Thank you – this was driving me nuts today
