I'm trying to use ack-grep as a replacement for grep + find in Emacs on Windows, but ack-grep exits immediately (successfully) without printing any matches. I've tried just about every conceivable combination of command-line parameters to ack-grep, but nothing seems to work.
M-x grep-find
Enter "ack html" to search for files containing "html". Ack exits immediately, printing nothing:
-*- mode: grep; default-directory: "c:/" -*-
Grep started at Tue Feb 23 23:50:52
ack html
Grep finished (matches found) at Tue Feb 23 23:50:52
Executing the same command "ack html" in cmd.exe
works fine (showing lots of various files containing the string "html".
Any ideas?
