How to I use ag to search only in current folder (nonrecursive)?

Question

I love ag :: the_silver_searcher but I am wondering how can I perform a search non-recursively.

Sometimes I want to search only inside files from my home directory but without looking in subdirectories.

Check the depth option from the manual :

--depth NUM : Search up to NUM directories deep, -1 for unlimited. Default is 25.

Thanks! Worked perfectly. It seems that I lost my ability to properly RTFM. – sorin Dec 20 '16 at 10:03
Note that Emacs's **helm-ag** requires the use of the = separator for the long option, e.g. for current directory: `--depth=0` – kotchwane Mar 22 '20 at 15:56
