How to specify root directory to search from

[wolfisberg]

I can't seem to figure out how I can tell fzf to start searching from another directory than the $PWD.

I have this alias

alias pdfind='fzf --preview-window=hidden -i -e -q ".pdf$ " | xargs -I {} okular {}'

And I'd like it configure it to start searching from either / or $HOME.

I'm sure there is an easy way to achieve this, but I couldn't find anything in the wiki or the man page.

Cheers.

Apparently I didn't fully understand the way fzf is supposed to be used. I'm now piping fd output into fzf and provide the directory to fd.
