Hi, great plugin. I found it easy to use and to modify to my own needs, but I want to ask about one point: What's the rationale for issuing Thankfully your code was clean and straightforward, so I modified it and removed --follow, which presents results that does't get stuck searching through what I believe are the two offenders: Steam and Wine. This is neither here nor there, but I also modified it so ctrl+f does not search for hidden files, and ctrl+g will start a search that will include hidden files. I guess it's possible that might conflict with some terminal emulators (to my knowledge, it doesn't on gnome-terminal) but I think it's a nice trick all the same. |

Hi @homeisfar! Thanks for the feedback. I applied the same principle for why I hardcoded always searching for hidden files. |

Sure, if it works for you and others it's fine, I simply wanted to raise awareness to the usage of --follow. Thanks again for your great plugin! |

Oh btw, an option, at least in the interim, is to configure fd to ignore Steam and Wine. See https://github.com/sharkdp/fd#excluding-specific-files-or-directories |

I've decided to turn it off. It seems that more often than not, following symlinks is more trouble than it's worth. I am not sure right now but it seems symlinks often point to massive folders that you wouldn't want to be searching in anyway (anecdotally based on what I'm hearing here and reading at https://www.quora.com/When-do-we-use-symbolic-link-in-Linux and https://www.quora.com/Why-are-symbolic-links-so-commonly-used-in-the-shared-library-of-Linux-usr-lib64). |

FYI fd options can now be customized. See #126 |
