Some files are missing when using the_silver_searcher

[djmadeira]

Using grep as the back-end does not have this problem, but I need to use ag for its ability to auto-source .gitignore files.

LMK if you need a zip of the file structure for testing; can't post it here.

Hi @djmadeira, sorry that I haven't been able to investigate this sooner. Did you work out any reason that might explain the discrepancy?

Missing results is no good indeed. If you do have a shareable reproduction, that would be great for trying to track down the cause.

I figured it out. It seems that smart case doesn't work when using ag as the ackprg. So when I search a string that has a capital letter in it, both ag --vimgrep and Ack.vim display the same result, but when I use an all lowercase search, Ack.vim is case-sensitive while ag is not.
