Thanks for the plugin, it looks really good. As one of the selling points is to never search twice, I would like to see a refining feature. Let me give you an example...

Imagine you are looking for a specific test file, but you really don't remember much about it. You open fff and type "test". Now you're down to 200 files (this is still a big codebase). I'd be nice to have a feature to "refine" on those files. This means you "selected" the current results and get a fresh empty prompt to continue "searching from here".

Why not just use regex?

  1. I prefer the simplicity, it's easier to handle mentally.
  2. It's powerful in case the plugin adds grepping in the future. For example: find subset of files, select/refine them, then switch to grep on these alone.
