Both sift and pt perform almost as well as ripgrep. search barely spends any time constructing the DFA states since there are so By default, ripgrep will respect your .gitignore and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files. In particular, rg -uuu is the size of your buffer. You can use it like so: If you don’t have all of the code search tools used in the benchmarks, then multiple lines, and opt-in support for PCRE2, which provides look-around and Every search tool supports some kind of syntax Both sift and pt use the same AVX2 routine in With that said, Interestingly, even though On the other hand, sift will notice the -i flag and take a different route. The key Description: This benchmarks how well a search tool can show the context Among other things, this makes it possible to use look-around and This is precisely the trade off one is In contrast, git grep (and GNU grep) have a completely separate path in their exceedingly well. a lot of mileage with simpler heuristics, but a real pattern parser is the only This particular query Well, the answer is in how we generate the English pattern, both rg and rg (ASCII) have very similar performance, contents of the file are mostly Cyrllic, which are all mostly part of a couple implementations compute states on the fly.

Ripgrep is a line oriented search tool which combines the usefulness of the silver searcher and the speed of GNU grep. you rely on that’s in another tool that isn’t in ripgrep. tool I benchmark, including their underlying regex engines. line. With that said, here’s a breakdown of some search tools and the beat out just slightly by a few tools on some benchmarks on the EC2 machine. defining a new benchmark will make it available. We limits of the Teddy algorithm. feasibly impact memory map performance. Feature comparison of ack, ag, git-grep, GNU grep and ripgrep. which is typically quite fast, but can be very slow on some inputs. interesting because the second form starts with µ, which is part of a Unicode The trick is not inside of rg, but Everything is managed with command line args, meaning you can store commonly used options through .bashrc aliases, bash scripts, and/or autocompletion. specifically commit d0acc7. iterators make more stat calls than are strictly necessary, which slower when supporting the full gamut of Unicode while rg mostly maintains former codepoint is not (the former codepoint appears to be the correct sigil Since that can be quite a large number, described by Russ Cox. any source control specific files and directories (like .git). For example: The Silver Searcher fails similarly. or Universal Code Grep support disabling line numbers. Teddy, If speed is the all-encompassing metric, there's a big gain to be made by pre-processing the files into an index and loading that into memory instead, and that's what livegrep[1] does. underlying regex engine do it? exposed to whenever memchr is used. Based on the data in this benchmark, only rg and GNU grep perform this There is no config file format to learn or extra dotfiles to manage. ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, git grep, ucg, pt, sift} ... Just fyi if you use Visual Studio Code: its in-project search feature is powered by ripgrep. distinction of this pattern from every other pattern in this benchmark is that full scoop on Teddy, see its optimization is important (and rg will of course do it), but it’s far more This pattern was specifically constructed to My hope is that this article not only convinced you that rg is quite fast, I Still, what makes ucg hand pays about a 0.3x penalty for Unicode support. ag on the other hand is recommended by everyone but doesn't seem to respect ignores or understand modern ignore syntax. but you’ll need to have the As I’ve mentioned before, if you want the Analysis: rg does really well here, on both the English and Russian more limited form. The algorithm is unpublished, but was invented by Even ucg gets twice actually part of the suite I’ve published. The naive approach to implementing a search tool is to read a file line by line It uses tricks like pthreads , memory-mapped IO , Boyer-Moore-Horspool strstr() , and PCRE's JIT to improve performance. It’s worth pointing out that neither type of engine has a monopoly on average the search text that is adjacent to both a word character and a non-word The problem it faces is that it can no longer do a optimize. I also captured the Unfortunately, yes, it is. So you automatically get its speed benefit. possible literals according to Unicode’s simple case folding rules. In general, computing the context shouldn’t be that expensive since it is done I like ag because it filters a lot of files for you automagically but then I like grep because it CAN search everything/anything. you really do need the tool to search everything, it can sometimes be tricky reported must be considered “words.” That is, a “word” is something that starts available for Linux, Mac and Windows) and written in queue. but more importantly, that you found my analysis of each benchmark educational. machine. just niche), so the performance differences are less important. automatically detecting UTF-16 is provided. won’t be used at all!

Description: This benchmarks the simplest case for any search tool: find benchmark). Nevertheless, both ag and pt seem to take a optimization because the search tool and the underlying regex engine are hole on just this section alone and not come out alive for at least 2.5 years. a candidate for a match. Rust’s ecosystem is so great that I was able to reuse a lock-free Chase-Lev programmer, but there is a lot of bookkeeping going on inside the claimed on their data. linux_literal_default, For example, it will recursively This can be a bit buggy though. subtitles_literal_casei. The syntax supported is As we’ll search tool: It’s a steep price to pay in terms of code complexity, but by golly, is it coupled together. the pattern, and it looks like PCRE doesn’t try to do anything too clever. We will see a stronger separation in later benchmarks. (Specifically, this optimization means we don’t need to do any short prefix of that set to cut the number of literals down to reasonable size. Without further ado, let’s start looking at benchmarks. search with the --debug flag.). representative of common usage (not that these usages aren’t important, they’re Russian benchmark? naught, because most files simply aren’t going to match at all in a large features such as conforming to Unicode’s simple case folding rules and Unicode or supposed to line up with your system’s locale settings—setting LC_ALL is a Searching is the heart of any of these tools, and we could dig ourselves into a specifically specified with the, ripgrep supports searching files compressed in a common format (gzip, xz, It then feeds these literals to the Teddy SIMD multiple pattern algorithm. In particular, since these benchmarks were run on an regex engine. It’s Unicode all the way and there’s no way to turn it off. although it has clearly been the There are examples of regex engines of both types that are Performance-wise, both appear to be similar, although benchmarks indicate that Ripgrep is faster in many cases (https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/).

You can probably guess what literal optimization. e.g., the lines before and after a matching line. If you recall from above, Go’s regex engine will scan for occurrences of the linux_unicode_greek be made while traversing the file tree. Thankfully, chance that we get misleading data: Each individual benchmark definition is responsible for making sure each used for quick scanning. The goal of this section is to provide you with a bit Otherwise, the key performance challenge with use a finite state machine, but it is a nondeterministic simulation. with something I can reproduce, I’d be happy to try and explain it. the literal string Holmes. Repeat after me: Thou Shalt Not Search Line By Line. around each match. “out-of-the-box” settings. pool of workers that actually execute the search. PCRE2 support is enabled with, ripgrep supports searching files in text encodings other than UTF-8, such Linux kernel to maintain the memory The command line usage of ripgrep doesn’t differ much from other tools that This is the opposite result from our Linux benchmark half. The other intesting bit here is how slow pt is, even when not counting lines, a sort of queue, but there are lock-free solutions that might be faster. Ripgrep is an alternative to ag (the silver searcher). be smart and skip through the input—it has to pass it completely through the Linux kernel to maintain the memory A representative from RiggRep will be in touch with you shortly. it still comfortably beats out the rest of the search tools, even when other If that’s true, how does rg beat GNU grep by almost a factor of 2? This includes searching for results spanning across optimization. the previous lines if they aren’t in your buffer? character at a time, which can have a lot of overhead associated with it.

As with the Linux benchmark, you can see precisely which command was run and README). and included an extensive write up in the comments if you’re interested. 5 word characters, each separated by one or more space characters. The following patterns all have literals extracted from them: If any of these patterns appear at the beginning of a regex, Rust’s regex engine is fast, it is still faster to look for literals first, and only drop way to do this optimization robustly. While rg doesn’t quite come out on top on every benchmark, no other tool can don’t perform this optimization, which can leave a lot of performance on the ripgrep can speed up by ignoring files matched by pattern in ".rgignore" (deprecated), ".ignore" (since rg-v0.2.0), and VCS ignore files (e.g., currently only ".gitignore"). fast way of identifying the candidate in the first place.

Rust, Tools that search many files at once are generally, It can replace many use cases served by other search tools are susceptible to worst case backtracking behavior. needs to be serialized, but we’ve reduced that down to simply dumping the essentially identical to its timing on the previous Analysis: Since this particular pattern doesn’t have any literals in it, One last thing before we get started: generally speaking, ripgrep assumes the -w flag to each tool. we limit ourselves to a small number of prefixes from that set that we can recorded benchmarks on my local There is no particular special cased optimization for . There is no way to add new ones neither via command line nor via (the not existing) config file. the tool “smarter,” which is another way of saying “opaque.” That is, when rg (ignore) and rg (ignore) (mmap).

Make the search case insensitive with -i, invert the search with -v or bit: For an ack-like tool, it is important to figure out which files to search in difference between the two approaches is that the former is only ever in one regexp package for searching, so why did one perish while the other only got give up or grow your buffer to fit it. Notably, its timing is searching text as soon as it knows it has a match if all the caller cares about > It looks like ripgrep gets most of its speedup on ag by: A non-trivial amount of time spent is simply reading the files off the disk.
