Subject: How to set default locate switches?
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 14:16:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r1nyxk5z.fsf@delllaptop.lockywolf.net> (raw)

Hello, everyone

I am using locate a lot to find files and directories.
However, by default locate searches in a case-sensitive way, and in the
full path. On the other hand, I like searching the way described with
locate's `-ieb` switches. (existing, case-fold, basename)

I can, obviously, use C-u locate , but that's more typing.

Is there a way to set those keys by default?

Thanks,
Vlad
