Not finding searched term in subdirectories

[AtomicNess123]

I can seem to find a searched term that is a subdirectory level 3.
When I point to the directory itself or on the level right above, ripgrep finds it.
However, when I try to search it from upper levels, it won't, even if I specify --max-depth 10.
I wonder what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

Sorry, but there isn't really any way to answer this without an actual test case that I can reproduce. My guess is that this is related to your gitignores. You can test it by disabling gitignores (-u) and seeing if that helps. You can also use --debug to see why ripgrep is ignoring certain files or directories.

I actually noticed that the term had an accent (ó), and I was using the word without the accent. Is there a way to find all words independent of the vowel variation (=o, ö, ó)? Thanks.

This is a totally different question though. If the same term matched what you wanted using a different directory as input, then this shouldn't be a factor.

No. Not unless you know your corpus is in composed normal form. Then you could search for just o or even o\p{Mark}* I think, and that might do it.

Yes, it's true, my bad. Actually, I opened a new question because the reason was that it was in a DOC document. Thanks for the composed form tip!
