Show HN: Fast Incremental Plaintext Searcher

  • How does this compare to ugrep or others?

    Fast text search is really valuable -- if we could see comparisons it would help make judgements about which to use.

  • Clean interface(*). Seems fast - does it index files ? (* nicer than grepWin (GPL) - more like BareGrep without source)

    Comparing with others: ripgrep (MIT) mention filtering and shell completions, ugrep (MIT) - including a file indexer, searching in archives and fuzzy search, dnGrep (GPL3) - archives, s&r+undo, (as well) to line results in external editor and XPath.

    Unfortunately can't test it. Virustotal says it's not network shy (IP Traffic) and unsafe (3/75 security vendors flagged this file as malicious) :(

  • Without comparison to leading tools like ripgrep, the_silver_searcher and ugrep, this project will remain a passing curiosity.

    $10 is nothing and I already forgot how much did the restaurant dinner last night cost me, but I don't want to give money without knowing what am I getting in little more details and/or user-friendly marketing like tool comparison.
