Regex search that embarrasses grep on speed
Plain outbound link — no affiliate parameters, no tracking redirects.
ripgrep is the benchmark other search tools measure themselves against — literally; its author publishes rigorous comparative benchmarks. A single ~5MB Rust binary that respects .gitignore and outruns grep, ag, and git-grep on real codebases. The archetype of proof-of-work software: no marketing site, just numbers.
Rust; single ~5MB binary; published benchmarks beat grep/ag/git-grep; respects .gitignore
