Since Visual Studio Code is using ripgrep for search one can also open the repo in the editor and use find in files to search for such things similar performance. It’s one of my favorite tools for searching specific expressions in codebases.

That's why I initially jumped on the VSCode bandwagon. I'm slightly miffed that nowadays the search is much slower than ripgrep. I see myself using ripgrep from the VSCode console.

I don't think it's ripgrep itself, it's something with the way VSCode manages extensions, and doesn't give you enough information to debug which extension is blocking it.

I always just find it faster to put a command argument together tbh
