Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this information! What do you think might have caused this though?

I do care. I find it much easier to work with a codebase that has logs and error messages that can be easily searched. Similarly, working on a blog with searchable text makes more sense to me. Before switching to soft-wrapping, I used hard-wrapping, and sometimes I would notice a typo or an issue in one of the essays. When I tried to quickly search for a nearby word, it wouldn’t find it because the text had been hard-wrapped. I think it also makes it far easier for outsiders to navigate a repo which they are not familiar with.
About the newline, I agree.

- samatman 2y agogrep -C 5 does the trick quite nicely I find. rg accepts the same flag.
