> You can simply use ripgrep to search

That assumes that the text in your notes uses the vocabulary you'd expect, and isn't misspelled. Neither of those are guaranteed if your notes are snippets of other documents (a common EN use-case) rather than text you wrote yourself. Especially not guaranteed if the snippets are images where their textual representation is the output of an OCR algorithm.

Is there something like ripgrep for fuzzy search?

You can pipe ripgrep into fzf for fuzzy searching. It works like a dream.
