"let agpr" causes quickfix window problem about ag.vim

I think usually that's a problem with the value of g:agprg, but adding the smart case option shouldn't cause issues with the default value of that variable. I'll try to look into this sometime in the next few days. Thanks for the report :)

As I wanted to add a flag, I added this to vimrc:

let agprg="Ag --smart-case"
The problem is every line in quickfix begins with "|| " instead of the filename, e.g.

|| data/devices.txt:4:gadget

Not sure why that happens. The prefix is preventing quickfix from opening these files. It works fine without "let agprg", so is there any way to remove the double pipe?

By default g:agprg uses the --column option, which includes the columns numbers in the search results. Because of this, the default g:agformat value is "%f:%l:%c:%m" (see :h errorformat or this plugin's docs for more info). Without the --column option, there are only line numbers in the search results ag returns, so you'll need to either add the --column option or change g:agformat to not look for column numbers, like so:

let g:agformat="%f:%l:%m"
