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:
