  • ripgrep

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

    • It's the first time I hear about the ugrep. Would be nice to compare it with ripgrep, since both provide benchmark tables listing their tool at the top :D. For my everyday use speed doesn't matter much, as well as interactive mode seems useless (YMMV). So I'm staying with ripgrep for now.

  • ugrep

    NEW ugrep 6.0: a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep. Includes a TUI, Google-like Boolean search with AND/OR/NOT, fuzzy search, hexdumps, searches (nested) archives (zip, 7z, tar, pax, cpio), compressed files (gz, Z, bz2, lzma, xz, lz4, zstd, brotli), pdfs, docs, and more
