ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support.

Features
