How does it compare in speed to 'ag' (i.e the silver searcher) -g option?

  I didn't even know that existed, thank you. ripgrep seems to have something similar: rg -g '*.foo' --files

  rg (ripgrep -- the rust-made grep/ag style tool) is already quite faster than ag.

  I haven't benchmarked them, but fd has a recursive parallel directory iterator. ag doesn't. The mysql-server repository[1] should be a fun one to try out, because of this: $ wc -l .gitignore 3122 .gitignore The combination of fast glob matching[2] and parallel traversal should be a boon.

  fd is about a factor of 2-3 faster (for this example): > time fd -HIe jpg > /dev/null 5,12s user 2,03s system 785% cpu 0,911 total > time ag --depth 100 -uuu -g '\.jpg$' > /dev/null 0,95s user 1,66s system 99% cpu 2,628 total
