## What it is
A Vim/NeoVim plugin that provides Sublime Text-style project-wide text search backed by ack, ag, pt, or ripgrep. It displays results in a rich context view and supports asynchronous searching plus an Edit Mode for applying changes across multiple files.

## Use cases
- search across all files in a vim project
- refactor code across multiple files from vim
- get sublime-text-like search results in vim
- run asynchronous grep inside neovim
- edit search results in place and save to files
- preview matches before opening files

## When to choose
- you live in Vim/NeoVim and want fast project-wide search with editable results
- you need multi-file find-and-replace workflows inside the editor
- you already use rg, ag, pt, or ack and want a better result view

## When to avoid
- you don't use Vim or NeoVim
- you only need simple quickfix-style grep without extra features
- you want an IDE's built-in search UI
