I don't see any build instructions, so I don't know how to try it. Sorry. I did run `./scripts/build_boost.sh`, but that didn't produce any `fsrc` binary that I could use.

I would also caution you to make sure you're benchmarking equivalent workloads.

There are no build instructions yet, you need to build boost with build_boost.sh and then open qmake/fsrc.pro with Qt Creator. There are binaries available here, too: https://github.com/elsamuko/fsrc/releases

And I know than benchmarking is hard, a coarse comparison is in scripts/compare.sh. More detailed performance tests are in test/TestPerformance.

I don't know what Qt Creator is. Please provide tools to build your code from the command line.

I did some playing around with your binary, but it's pretty hard to benchmark because I don't know what your tool is doing with respect to .gitignore, hidden files and binary files. Your output format is also non-standard and doesn't revert to a line-by-line format when piped into another tool, so it's exceptionally difficult to determine whether the match counts are correct. Either way, I don't see any evidence that fsrc is faster. That you're using a fast SIMD algorithm is somewhat irrelevant; ripgrep uses SIMD too.

On my copy of the Linux checkout (note the `-u` flags passed to ripgrep):

    $ time /tmp/fsrc PM_RESUME | wc -l

I originally tried to run `fsrc` on a single file (in order to better control the benchmark), but I got an error:

    $ time /tmp/fsrc 'Sherlock Holmes' /data/benchsuite/subtitles/2018/OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en

I included qmake and added a `deploy.sh` in the main source folder, which generates the deployed zip file. Let me know, if this doesn't build.

  * gitignore behaviour: If there is a .git folder in the search folder, it uses git ls-files to get all files to search in
  * a .git folder itself is never searched
  * hidden folders and files are searched
  * binaries are ['detected'](https://github.com/elsamuko/fsrc/blob/f1e29a3e24e5dbe87908c4ca84775116f39f8cfe/src/utils.cpp#L93), if they contain two binary 0's within the first 100 bytes or are PDF or PostScript files.
  * pipe behaviour is not implemented yet
  * it supports only one option-less argument as search term
  * folders are set with -d
