- dmos62 3y agoWouldn't you struggle to search over docx and pdfs with ripgrep?
- darrenldl 3y agoI will add ripgrep-all is great for that purpose (and you can also search inside archives with it if I recall correctly).
- darrenldl 3y ago> Is interactive mode the value-ad over ripgrep and ripgrep-all? Partly, yes. Though if that's the only part then ugrep would largely have sufficed for me somewhat. The other part is that the search algorithm of Docfd is very different that of fzf or ripgrep, and some searches are easier in Docfd than the two. For instance, "(recursive function | recursion)" will match phrases like "function ... is recursive" that might be split into more than one line, but accomplishing that in ripgrep and fzf will take a lot more elbow grease, especially when the search expression gets bigger.
