This "huge diffrence" is just miliseconds for a 20M LoC, as the author showed in this thread using the linux kernel source, he gives importance to the UX when compared to grep though.
- acdha 8y agoRead the second half of his comment and ask what percentage of the Linux kernel source would be excluded by file type rules versus other projects. I mostly work on web and data archival projects and ripgrep is noticeably seconds (or more!) faster because it can skip images, archives, etc. If you’re talking about the core algorithm, it’s not that much faster but the clever adjustments for common patterns and modern CPU architectures also counts for real world results. It’s just important to be precise so people know there hasn’t been some fundamental breakthrough in searching.
