`ag {{foo}}`
- Find files containing "foo" in a specific directory:
`ag {{foo}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Find files containing "foo", but only [l]ist the filenames:
`ag -l {{foo}}`
- Find files containing "FOO" case-[i]nsensitively, and print [o]nly the match, rather than the whole line:
`ag -i -o {{FOO}}`
- Find "foo" in files with a name matching "bar":
`ag {{foo}} -G {{bar}}`
- Find files whose contents match a regular expression:
`ag '{{^ba(r|z)$}}'`
