By default, display the file being searched.

The command-line for refining a search supports auto-completing based on the current output.

Initial search can be refined by typing in other terms (optionally exclude from results too).

While regex is default, sometimes escaping is inconvenient, in these cases you can perform literal searches.

Can define specific configuration in each directory using .ptconfig.toml.

Writing fully in Go.
