the_silver_searcher and ripgrep are similar (and inspired by Ack). I switched from ack to the_silver_searcher years ago as it's quite a bit faster (or was at the time anyway, not sure how fast Ack is now), and then to ripgrep because it has the -g option (only search files that match a pattern) that's handy sometimes.
