Use `cb!` instead of `cb`:

    rg --vimgrep restore_tool | vim -c cb! -
You might also wanna open the quickfix list by default:

    rg --vimgrep restore_tool | vim -c cb! -c copen -
You can learn more about how to navigate it using `:h quickfix`.

This is amazing! Thank you!!

The quickfix window is so small, so I added the "-c only" option to make it the only window that first pops up. Then made it a function so it's easier to call:

``` vgrep() { rg --vimgrep "$1" | vim -c cb! -c copen -c only - } ```

$> vgrep "restore_tool"

I tried searching how to open the quickfix window in a vertical split, but found nothing. Any ideas?
got it

    find "$1" -name "$2"  | vim -c cb! -c "vert 40copen" -
40 means open at 40 column.
I had never heard of the quickfix list! Thanks a lot!
