This is the most helpful answer, especially since the exit code isn't zero when the pattern wasn't matched. For example: grep --color -E "test|$" yourfile just highlights all occurrences of "test" in the file and even when there are no matches, it still returns 0 which is counter-intuitive. However: rg --passthru test yourfile highlights the occurrences but returns a non-zero exit code when the pattern wasn't matched.
