Feature request: literal "search" #2

Description

@kylecordes

This is a very powerful and useful package.... Which appears to be part of a somewhat broad community of packages, forks or variations of some original unmaintained thing.

I have a simple feature request but I'm hoping one of the forks could provide:

Offer a command line option --literal or something like that, which makes the search just for the exact literal string provided, not a regular expression. This is extremely useful for searching for strings that themselves look somewhat like a regular expression. It is very tedious to manually "escape" a string that contains a lot of characters often seen in a regular expression.
