When using Ack with vim and exuberant ctags or other tags files, you
tend to get a couple of extra results that aren't useful.

Reading the documentation of Ack I can't figure out a way to tell it
to ignore TAGS or tags files.

They typically don't have an extension. Is this possible? Would it be
possible to add a:

--[no]tags         TAGS tags

filetype ignore?

ack should not be looking at your TAGS or tags files, because they are not file types that ack recognizes.

I suspect you are using the -a flag which tells ack to search all files, regardless of type.  If so, then ack is doing exactly what you're telling it to do.

xoxo,
