#2The title needs “(2016)”. This is the original announcement, not new information.

#3It's fast indeed. And I can't help keeping promoting the combination with fzf :) For those who want to try it out, this is a Powershell function but the same principle applies in any shell. Does ripgrep then puts fuzzy searching in the resulting files+text on top while showing context in bat:
function frg {
$result = rg --ignore-case --color=always --line-number --no-heading @Args |
fzf --ansi `
--color 'hl:-1:underline,hl+:-1:underline:reverse' `
--delimiter ':' `
--preview "bat --color=always {1} --theme='Solarized (light)' --highlight-line {2}" `
--preview-window 'up,60%,border-bottom,+{2}+3/3,~3'
if ($result) {
& ($env:EDITOR).Trim("`"'") $result.Split(': ')[0]
}
}
edit this comes out of https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/ADVANCED.md and even though you might not want to use most of what is in there, it's still worth glancing over it to get ideas of what you could do with it

#4But is any of them using `_mm256_sad_epu8` for small, literal strings?

#5git grep cannot even find a simple string in its repo.

#6But is any of them using `_mm256_sad_epu8` for small, literal strings?
Not exactly but yes, it ultimately uses the `memchr` crate [1] which provides SIMD-optimized character and string search routines. But it uses `_mm256_cmpeq_epi8` instead of `_mm256_sad_epu8`.

Not bad. For those who want to try it, install all prereqs with: choco install fzf bat ripgrep
How do you scroll the preview window with keyboard ?

#9git grep cannot even find a simple string in its repo.
What? Git grep is all you ever need in my experience, and it's ~faster than~ (edit: as fast as) ripgrep when searching a git repo.
