ack - Other grep-like tools
- Indexing tools
rga is a line-oriented search tool that allows you to look for a regex in a multitude of file types.
rga wraps the awesome ripgrep and enables it to search in pdf, docx, sqlite, jpg, movie subtitles (mkv, mp4), etc.
rga (or ripgrep-all) is a command line tool to recursively search all files in a directory for a regex pattern, that runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. It's a wrapper for ripgrep, the line-oriented recursive search program, on top of which it enables search in a multitude of file types like PDF, DOCX, ODT, EPUB, SQLite databases, movies subtitles embedded in MKV or MP4 files, archives like ZIP or GZ, and more.
Fast and powerful open source alternative to grep; it targets flexibility and performance: can be as fast as "regular" grep and allows to specify complex expressions to find text.
Greps regular expressions in a text file(s) and prints out the paragraphs containing those expressions; a paragraph is defined as a block of text delimited by an empty or blank line; fully customizable via command line parameters.
(The silver searcher) is a text search utility targeted to source code; it skips versioning systems data directories; it is inspired by ack, but faster.
A tool like grep optimized for programmers; written in Perl, it speeds up searches thanks to skipping non interesting directories, such as .git.
Executes SQL-like queries on CSVs/TSVs tabular data files; each tabular file is treated as a database table; support to all SQL constructs (WHERE, GROUP BY, JOIN).
Utility that allows users to choose one option from a set of choices using an interface with fuzzy search functionality.
A Python script that
1) receives input lines from stdin or a file,
2) lists the input lines and waits for input that filter/select the line(s),
3) outputs the selected line(s) to stdout;
Can be used to add interactivity to many regular shell commands.
(JSON Query?) is sed-like processor for JSON data; can be used to process JSON files and data streams and perform operations such as those allowed by cat, sed, grep and awk on regular text files.
(Generic Colouriser) can be configured to parse a given text stream and to colorize it according to regexp written in configuration files; different patterns can be associated to file types.
ngrep applies the grep logic to the network layer, allowing to match regular expressions against data payloads of packets; it recognizes IPv4/6, TCP, UDP, ICMPv4/6, IGMP and Raw across Ethernet, PPP, SLIP, FDDI, Token Ring and null interfaces.
A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. Written in Rust.
Stack overflow command line client written in Python. Search and browse stack overflow without leaving the terminal.
Google Search, Google Site Search, Google News from the terminal.
Search API docs offline, in your terminal or browser.
Today I want to talk about fzf and ripgrep, two tools I use all the time when working in Vim and the terminal. They have become an absolutely vital part of my workflow. Ever since I started using them I can’t imagine myself functioning without them anymore.
