Neat! That's definitely better than some of the other shell clones I've seen, in that it makes an attempt to filter out files based on .gitignore. But it looks like it still gets some .gitignore stuff wrong. It's hard to handle .gitignore correctly in a simple way.
In some simple tests on my Linux checkout, it is about an order of magnitude slower than ripgrep though. It looks like a good chunk of time is spent in gitignore filtering?
I don't think it has multi-line search, which is something I've learned that ag users happen to love, which is why it's in the most recent release of ripgrep. :-)
