The search pattern can be a word or a regular expression.

## Install

This layer requires at least one search tool: `ag`, `rg`, `ack`, `pt` and `grep`, Choose your favorite one.

## Options

- foldsearch_highlight: a boolean option to enable/disabled highlight. Enabled by default. To disable the highlight:

    foldsearch_highlight = false
```
