If you are an Emacs user like me, you must try out the consult-ripgrep command from the peerless Consult [1] package by Daniel Mendler: search your whole project with ripgrep and get a live preview of every matching candidate all inside of Emacs!

And for those who are also on Emacs but on the Swiper/avy/ivy/counsel side of the fence, there's counsel-rg.

I use it since before burntsushi (who's here on HN btw)'s ripgrep was shipped with Debian stable!

I'm sometimes searching not just my project but my entire user dir or my entire shared drive, from Emacs. A NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD (I'm using a WD SN850X which someone here recommended to me when I assembled my PC) is that fast and ripgrep too.

What are these? They're not editors/IDEs.. or?

[indymike]

Oh, they are Emacs extensions.

Ah, thank you. My brain inserted a "not" in place of "also", so I read:

> And for those who are also on Emacs but on the Swiper/avy/ivy/counsel side of the fence

As "And for those who are not on Emacs but..."

En garde! If you're a Vim user, fzf.vim [1] can do this. :)

If you don't need live updating output, you can just set grepprg and get results in the quickfix list with :grep[!] (or the location list with :lgrep[!]).

  if executable('rg')
    let &grepprg = 'rg --vimgrep $*'
  endif

No need for Fzf/Telescope/Denite/DDU or anything else in that case.

used to do that with glimpse when i worked with very large codebases 23 years ago!

big fan of ag, ripgrep and burntsushi's rust work!

And if you want interactive support, try https://github.com/bombela/fzf.vim.rgfd

Yep, the consult suite and rg are two of my favorite things. And I'm not even a SWE.

am a big fan of the whole consult/vertico/embark stack of emacs plugins. They're fantastic.

deadgrep is nice too
