A Vim/Neovim plugin that integrates grep tools like ripgrep, ag, ack, git grep, and others into asynchronous searches with results in the quickfix or location list. It provides a prompt, operator, and per-tool commands, and is considered feature-complete by its author.

Use cases

• search across a codebase from within vim
• run ripgrep asynchronously in neovim
• put grep results in the quickfix list
• grep the current visual selection in vim
• switch between grep tools like ag, ack, and git grep
• search only files loaded in the current vim session

When to choose

• you use Vim or Neovim and want flexible, async grep integration with multiple search backends
• you want grep results in the quickfix/location list with operator and prompt workflows
• you need per-tool commands and easy custom tool configuration

When to avoid

• you use an IDE or another editor with built-in project search
• you want a plugin under active feature development - the author considers it feature-complete
• you primarily work on Windows, where support is only partial
