`git grep -o` shows only the part of a line that matched

1

`git grep -o` (`git grep --only-matching`) has been able to print only the matched parts of a line since [v2.19.0 released in 2018](https://web.archive.org/web/20230313182235id_/git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/commit/?id=9d8db06eb4a5d5577db559a0059a377914c1ce5a), but [beyondgrep.com doesn’t say so](https://archive.today/2023.03.13-181115/https://beyondgrep.com/feature-comparison/#selection-1919.0-1962.0).

(re https://github.com/beyondgrep/ack3/issues/366 ) CPAN [App-CSVUtils](https://metacpan.org/dist/App-CSVUtils) provides [csv-grep](https://metacpan.org/dist/App-CSVUtils/view/script/csv-grep) for searching delimited files. (CSV might also be covered in CookBook #103 , via `Text::CSV` or **awk**)

As far as I know no other grep implementation can do this: $ ./pcre2grep -M 'Copyright(\n|.)*Copying' INSTALL Copyright (C) 1994-1996, 1999-2002, 2004-2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Copying and distribution of...

Currently the single-file version is at https://beyondgrep.com/ack-v3.5.0. Could you maintain a link to the current version at something like https://beyondgrep.com/ack-current for automating updates for those of us using this version?
