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
