how to helm-projectile-grep for exact string?
How can I direct helm-projectile-ag and helm-projectile-grep to search for an exact string?

helm-projectile-ag use thing-at-point as input?
I want to use the current word as the input when I do helm-projectile-ag. That saves me the typing work. I didn't see this option in customize.

Does the `helm-projectile` package use an index?
Do the commands of the helm-projectile package consult an index, or do they scan the entire project tree every time they are invoked?
In case they use an index: when is this index created and updated? Is there an explicit way to create/update it?
