rga (ripgrep-all) is a command-line search tool that wraps ripgrep to search regex patterns inside PDFs, e-books, Office documents, SQLite databases, subtitles, and nested archives like zip and tar.gz. It recursively extracts and matches text across a wide range of file types.

Use cases

  • search text inside pdfs from the command line
  • grep inside zip and tar.gz archives recursively
  • find a regex in docx and odt office documents
  • search epub e-books for a phrase
  • grep sqlite databases and movie subtitles
  • full-text search across a directory of mixed file types

When to choose

  • you want ripgrep-like speed but need to search binary and document formats
  • you need to recursively search inside compressed archives
  • you want a single CLI tool for searching pdfs, office docs, and e-books

When to avoid

  • you only need to search plain text or source code - plain ripgrep is simpler
  • you need a GUI-based document search tool
  • you cannot install external dependencies like poppler or pandoc
