ripgrep is fast, but no non-toy search tool is going to be faster in every case. It's better to be a bit more reserved instead of spreading misinformation about the performance of a tool. It may be an obvious embellishment, but plenty of people will take it seriously. In general, I think we should encourage spreading the nuance in the trade offs of our tools as opposed to hyping them.

Cheat Sheet
Ripgrep (
rg) is smart. It's like grep if grep were built for code. It respects.gitignoreand.ignore, has all of the sensible options you want (colors, numbers, etc) turned on by default, is written in Rust, and typically outperforms grep in many use cases.
rg <search-term> # searches recursively, ignoring .git, node_modules, etc
rg 'function doStuff'
rg 'doStuff\(.*\)'
