He’s talking about text search and the post thanks @BurntSushi. That means they’re using the fastest text search tool out there - ripgrep. I won’t mention what it’s written in, because that clearly upsets you.
Benchmark - ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, git grep, ucg, pt, sift} (2016) - https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/
