ripgrep will automatically detect if stdin exists and search stdin for a regex
pattern, e.g. 'ls | rg foo'. In some environments, stdin may exist when it
shouldn't. To turn off stdin detection explicitly specify the directory to
search, e.g. 'rg foo ./'.
Tip: to disable all smart filtering and make ripgrep behave a bit more like
classical grep, use 'rg -uuu'.
