Description

After seeing the big benefits that ripgrep has brought to fuzzy-finder (more info), we want to explore what would be the impact on the time it takes to find something on a large project (which is not specially fast at the moment).

Please let me know if there's anything I can help with here. Note that ripgrep does have a JSON output mode which should make this task much easier to get right, but its documentation might not be in an obvious place. Here's a link: https://docs.rs/grep-printer/0.1.1/grep_printer/struct.JSON.html

Thanks @BurntSushi ! Really excited to integrate ripgrep in Atom and get some perf boosts!

I'll take a look at the JSON output docs

We have a PR in atom/atom which adds ripgrep as a backend system for the scanner: atom/atom#19348

Once that one gets merged we're going to be able to use it from this package! 🎉

Closing this issue, we're going to have an option for ripgrep powered search on Atom v1.39, and hopefully we're going to make it the default one very soon.

Thanks @BurntSushi for such an awesome tool! it's been a delight to integrate it on Atom ❤️
