Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
When using GPT-5, it frequently attempts to make ripgrep commands with a flag --cursor-ignore. Obviously ripgrep throws an error since this is not a valid flag. GPT-5 seems to still produce good output in lieu of this; it seems like it uses alternative methods to search the codebase.
But this still leaves me confused and wondering if I could get better results if GPT-5 was able to use ripgrep correctly. Below is the only error text I can obtain from the Cursor agent chat:
Search failed: rg: unrecognized flag --cursor-ignore (exit 2: ...)
Is this an error others are noticing?
Steps to Reproduce
Unable to reproduce consistently. Generally arises by asking gpt-5 to perform a complex task. Due to the complexity, it will attempt to run some searches on the codebase.
Expected Behavior
gpt-5 passes correct flags to ripgrep.
