ag is apparently https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher and it is a code searching tool. Of course we could add an interface for /usr and the implementation would be simple, but then someone will ask for /srv, /opt, /home/*, /var/imports, etc, etc. I'm not sure how to proceed with this request since the request is at odds with snappy's application isolation goals (not to mention on a classic system the things you want to search may not be bind mounted into the snap's runtime).

Can other members of the interfaces team weigh in?
