Solution

Find files containing "foo" and print the files with highlighted matches:
pt {{foo}}


Find files containing "foo" and display count of matches in each file:
pt {{[-c|--count]}} {{foo}}


Find files containing "foo" as a whole word and ignore its case:
pt {{[-wi|--word-regexp --ignore-case]}} {{foo}}


Find "foo" in files with a given extension using a regex:
pt {{[-G|--file-search-regexp]}}='{{\.bar$}}' {{foo}}


Find files whose contents match the regex, up to 2 directories deep:
pt --depth={{2}} -e '{{^ba[rz]*$}}'
