kristopolous: I ran across this fascinating tool a few days ago researching embedding models on hugging face.Advertised as "ColGREP Semantic code search for your terminal and your coding agents",I haven't put it in any harness yet but I probably should.https://github.com/lightonai/next-plaid/tree/main/colgrepI've also tried astgrep (also known as sg) but llms really mess up on them. I think you'd need to fine tune.If anyone has cracked that case I'd love to hear about it
schrodinger: How's it work? Embed tokens and use euclidean distance or something?
neogoose: I have open sourced the fastest code search implementation. Comprehensive SDK for both file finder and grep file search that is over 100x faster than ripgrep
siva7: I don't get this submission title. Your tool uses regex but the title claims the future is not about regex.
globular-toast: Why is it "for neovim"? Surely such a thing would be useful in many applications?
ramon156: Because it's being dishonest from multiple angles.- it has regex, so the title is weird - it definitely wouldn't be 100x faster than rg - its an sdk, so its apples to oranges anyway
genewitch: considering that ripgrep has marginal overhead over just reading the files to /dev/null, how exactly does this achieve 100x speedup?I have a lot of use for something that can search ~1GB of text "instantly", but so far nothing beats rg/ag after the data has been moved into RAM.
anilakar: The trick to optimization is not "doing faster" but "doing less". I already feel rg is missing a ton of results I want to see because it has a very large ignore list by default.
asdfadsfaf: I don't get it how can I search anything but the file name?
swiftcoder: Is there a write up of the underlying approach? The summary on the repo mentioned SIMD, but not a whole lot else.
dig1: ctags, GNU Global and even "ugrep -Q" would like to have a few words with you ;)
molszanski: I think it is about input. Before I had to type regex, now I just type text and fuzzy finds more, regex style. Awkward wording, but code seems cool.
