(description
- "The silver searcher, or 'ag', is tool for quickly searching through
-files, but compared to grep is much faster and respects files like .gitignore,
-.hgignore, etc.")
+ "The Silver Searcher (@command{ag}) is a tool for quickly searching large
+numbers of files. It's intended primarily for source code repositories, and
+respects files like @file{.gitignore} and @file{.hgignore}. It's also an order
+of magnitude faster than its inspiration, @command{ack}, and less specialised
+tools such as @command{grep}.")
