What's interesting is that ripgrep now also powers VS Code search with a Node.js wrapper. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vscode/ripgrep https://www.npmjs.com/p

...which is awesome if you can request/install VS Code but not ripgrep. You can find the rg binary in the VS installation (at least, I can on Windows at my place of employment).

  Hello thank you for pointing this out. I hate how slow grep is in Windows :( and I cannot install rg (I have no choice in the OS at work)

    What’s the nature of your work so you are not allowed to install software?
    - JaDogg 3y ago
      I'm not allowed to install arbitrary software, only those that are provided by IT. It is just company policy and I cannot change that.

I've always wondered how in world search in VS Code is so fast given it's an Electron app - now I know.
