    "incantation": "When searching repository files and reviewing matching content, run `jj file search` with a pattern to print each matching line prefixed by its file path. Add `--name-only` to print only paths containing matches.",

      "jj file search --pattern <PATTERN> [FILESETS...]",

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v0.44.0",
      "--pattern <PATTERN> / -p <PATTERN> (required): Pattern to search for in a single line; defaults to regex syntax. A glob pattern must match the whole line.",
      "--name-only: Print paths of files containing a match, not matched lines; conflicts with `--line-number`.",
      "FILESETS...: Restrict the search to files matching these prefixes; without them, search all files.",
      "--revision <REVSET> / -r <REVSET>: Revision whose files to search; defaults to `@`."
