ripgrep (rg) is a new text search tool by Andrew Gallant:
ripgrep combines the usability of The Silver Searcher (an ack clone) with the raw performance of GNU grep. ripgrep is fast, cross platform (with binaries available for Linux, Mac and Windows) and written in Rust.
Andrew has written in extensive detail on the benchmarking he did,
which shows ripgrep is one of the fastest and most correct tools of this
nature. To make use of ripgrep within vim here are a few options:
Set grepprg, which is used by :grep to search a project and add the matches to the quickfix list:
if executable("rg")
set grepprg=rg\ --vimgrep\ --no-heading
set grepformat=%f:%l:%c:%m,%f:%l:%m
endif
For use with ack.vim set g:ackprg as
follows. Now when you run :Ack it will use rg instead:
let g:ackprg = 'rg --vimgrep --no-heading'
One of my favourite plugins, fzf.vim has
built-in support for ag. I've created an experimental fork that adds
support for rg to it. My fork adds the :Rg user command, which works the
same way as the existing :Ag command. To use my version of the plugin with
vim-plug add the following to your .vimrc:
Plug 'wezm/fzf.vim', { 'branch': 'rg' }
The line will be similar in Vundle or pathogen.
