If ag knows it can't search the whole file, it should at least give a warning. Or why not use search_stream?
Silently skipping parts of it seems like the worst thing to do.

I built ag for myself; both as a tool and to improve my skills profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing. Had I known how popular it would become, I would have definitely held myself to a higher standard, or any standard. Most importantly, I'd have written tests. These days, I'm busy with a startup so progress on those fronts has been slow.
So.. thanks :)
One thing though, it skips certain source files seemingly arbitrarily without the -t param and I haven't figured out why... Doesn't seem related to any .gitignore entries that I have been able to identify.
