+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+the_silver_searcher: the_silver_searcher (grep-like text search, but faster)
+the_silver_searcher:
+the_silver_searcher: Ag is a code searching tool similar to grep and ack, but with a focus
+the_silver_searcher: on speed.
+the_silver_searcher:
+the_silver_searcher: Ag searches code about 3–5× faster than ack. It ignores file patterns
+the_silver_searcher: from your .gitignore and .hgignore. If there are files in your source
+the_silver_searcher: repo you don't want to search, just add their patterns to a .agignore
+the_silver_searcher: file. The command name is 33% shorter than ack!
