Ask HN: Instant realtime grep tool for Linux

Re:Ask HN: Instant realtime grep tool for Linux by leakbang on Sunday October 23, 2022 @06:40PM (#33310984)

I'm querying through ~600k lines of code. Ripgrep is very noticeably faster than grep when I'm searching. I have no complaints at all regarding the speed!

The only issue I'm facing is that I wish for Ripgrep to display me the search results as I type. Similar to how FSearch does it.

So instead of typing a search query and hitting enter in the commandline, I would want to continuously search as I type. I think since Ripgrep is very fast, it would be amazing for this task.

Oh. You're not talking about speed. You're talking about the user interface.

I don't know what FSearch is, so that doesn't help this.

What you want is to pair fzf with ripgrep. There are loads of tutorials out there for how to do it.
