I'm querying through ~600k lines of code. Ripgrep is very noticeably faster than grep when I'm searching. I have no complaints at all regarding the speed!

The only issue I'm facing is that I wish for Ripgrep to display me the search results as I type. Similar to how FSearch does it.

So instead of typing a search query and hitting enter in the commandline, I would want to continuously search as I type. I think since Ripgrep is very fast, it would be amazing for this task.

Oh. You're not talking about speed. You're talking about the user interface.

I don't know what FSearch is, so that doesn't help this.

What you want is to pair fzf with ripgrep. There are loads of tutorials out there for how to do it.

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks :)
