💥 Outcome Summary

Solution: We need to ignore file access errors by adding the --no-messages option to rg command.

rg help output:

--no-messages
    Suppress all error messages related to opening and reading files. Error
    messages related to the syntax of the pattern given are still shown.
    This flag can be disabled with the --messages flag.

I'm here to help out the maintainers and am going to see if I can fix the issue or at least get close enough to be helpful! I'll add the --no-messages flag to the ripgrep command to suppress file access errors as suggested.

I've successfully implemented the fix for this issue! 🎉

The solution was to add the --no-messages flag to the ripgrep command arguments, which suppresses file access error messages while still showing pattern syntax errors. This allows the search to continue and return valid results from accessible files.

PR: #6757

All CI checks have passed successfully. The change is minimal and only affects error message suppression, not the core search functionality.
