I'd be interested in knowing how this compares to the Silver Searcher [0], I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned at all since they're similar. [0] https://github.c

  Pretty sure ag searches on-the-fly, whereas Hound builds an index. Edit: Yup, from previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8957565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8957565

  One big difference is the UI. Silver Searcher is used on the command line whereas Hound is used in a webpage. Edit: A command line version is also on the way.

    rking's ag.vim provides a UI to Silver Searcher in vim, it is effectively similar to this, plus it's right in your next editor! https://github.com/rking/ag.vim https://github.com/rking/ag.vim That said Hound looks like a nice tool. I'm giving it a try.

    I've been using helm-projectile's helm-projectile-ag in emacs (on prelude) a lot lately. It's very nice to have live filtering while you type a query, and the ability to search for symbol at point. https://tuhdo.github.io/helm-projectile.html https://tuhdo.github.io/helm-projectile.html
