Actually, the author uses Windows, and ag is a pain to build on Windows. pt[1] (written in go) has drop-in builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

- ggreer 13y agoThe main reason for poor windows support is that I didn't own a copy of windows until two months ago. There is a windows fork of ag, but it doesn't compile on *nix: https://github.com/kjk/the_silver_searcher https://github.com/kjk/the_silver_searcher That said, pt is pretty cool. If that's what works for you, keep using it.
- pmelendez 13y agoThanks for that... I am a big fan of ag at work but I had trouble making it work on cygwin at home. This should solve that problem :)
