== Options

* list-only

	Only show the names of files that have a match

* case-insensitive

	The searches are strict by default but you can make the search ignore case with this option

* exact-match

	This option will force the search to only show results if the cell's text matches the search string verbatim

* font-style

	You can filter the search results based on the font. Valid values include 'bold', 'italic', 'underline','normal' and 'ignore'. By default the results will ignore the font information. Also note
	that tabs will be filtered out unless the font is 'normal' or 'ignore'. 

Note that this feature requires the git version of roo if/until the patch to roo for fonts is integrated

* [no]-tabs

	Show or hide tabs from the results using --tabs or --no-tabs

* [no]-cells

	Show or hide cells from the results using --cells or --no-cells
