I would like to use fzf to interactively run grep (or ag/ack/etc), where typing would cause grep to be re-executed as necessary. Ideally, there would be a configurable debounce setting, so quickly typing text doesn't trigger the command excessively. In case visuals help, this is basically the use case I have in mind (from syohex/emacs-helm-ag):

helm-do-ag

In this case, fzf would be less of a fuzzy finder, and more of a generic selection interface.

Is this a feature that would be accepted? If so, I might find time to work on it.
