Description

Background

internal/searchfiles/searchfiles.go uses strings.TrimSpace on matched lines before formatting the file:line:match output. This removes indentation, which is significant for code searches.

Expected behavior

The raw matched line should be preserved in the output so indentation and trailing spaces are retained.

Files to change

  • internal/searchfiles/searchfiles.go
  • internal/searchfiles/searchfiles_test.go

Research direction

Start in internal/searchfiles/searchfiles.go, where matched lines are processed before the file:line:match output is formatted. Review internal/searchfiles/searchfiles_test.go and add coverage showing that leading indentation and trailing spaces are retained, then run the searchfiles tests to verify the raw matched line is preserved.
