QTCreator 17 : Silver Searcher options not visible in find.
-
I have ag installed to PATH (/usr/bin) on arch. Works fine from command line.
I have enabled the silver searcher extension/plugin.
I am not seeing any silver search/ search engine options in the find dialog (C-S-f).
What have I inadvertently missed?

Hi @RichhieHH,
I just tried it:
- Installed with
sudo apt install silversearcher-ag - In QtCreator > Extensions > Silver Searcher > Active (set enabled, restart QtCreator)
- In the advanced find dialog, select: Scope > Files in File System and Search Engine > Silver Searcher.
Works like a charm for me.
Regards

I see. My error was not setting scope to "files in file system" - which then requires a root dir. The option isnt available in the project/projects scope for some reason. Since I cant tell if ag is being used in project scope, I'll assume it is after setting it in file scope.
post edit : it doesnt. Hmm. Ok. so use "file system" and set directory root to "current".
It seems a little strange. But all good.
