There is already a ag plugin for vim that will jump you to the matches.

See: https://github.com/rking/ag.vim

Yes, you're right! I mention this in my README:

> Inside vim, vim-grepper or ag.vim is probably the way to go. Outside vim (or inside a Neovim :terminal), tag is your best friend.

No, the way to go is to set the `grepprg` option.

And in case you need more flexibility juggling one-off calls to various similar tools, try:

:cex system('grep_or_ag_or_whatever -flags pattern') | copen

With proper ':set errorformat=...', you can call your compiler with this, or 'go test', or much more various stuff (even Go panic stacktraces).

And helm (the... well, not sure what's the actual name of what helm does, it's an emacs plugin) has an ag plugin so you can search and jump to matches

You can also use ag with unite.vim.
