Hi Oleh i start using counsel and the counsel-recoll and is quite good, thx for this! a small Q. when i launch the command am i supposed to see the search term inline (like in grep) or just the file name it resides in. currently i just see the filename that contains the search term. example screenshot: https://paste.xinu.at/B77QYh/
