Description
```
https://code.google.com/p/codesearch/source/browse/cmd/cindex/cindex.go#132 has
the relevant line of code. Effectively when I run cindex on my IRC log
directory, I get an index of *only* the private conversations. Public
conversations are in files named after the channel, so for example:
`2014/#ubuntu.03.log`.
cindex decides to ignore dotfiles, tildefiles, and for some reason probably
relating to EMACS, files beginning with an octothorpe ('#'). There does not
seem to be any command-line switch to disable this file-skipping (-a would seem
appropriate), and no way to provide custom include/exclude rules.
Since searching IRC logs is probably more common for me than searching code, it
makes this amazing tool rather less useful for me!
