File Search
Modern file and content search.
fd - Find Files
# Find by name
fd config # Files containing "config"
fd -e py # Python files
# By type
fd -t f config # Files only
fd -t d src # Directories only
# Exclude
fd -E node_modules # Exclude directory
fd -E "*.min.js" # Exclude pattern
# Execute command
fd -e py -x wc -l # Line count per file
rg - Search Content
# Simple search
rg "TODO" # Find TODO
rg -i "error" # Case-insensitive
# By file type
rg -t py "import" # Python files only
rg -t js -t ts "async" # JS and TS
# Context
rg -C 3 "function" # 3 lines before/after
# Output modes
rg -l "TODO" # File names only
rg -c "TODO" # Count per file
fzf - Interactive Selection
# Find and select
fd | fzf
# With preview
fd | fzf --preview 'bat --color=always {}'
# Multi-select
fd -e ts | fzf -m | xargs code
Combined Patterns
# Find files, search content
fd -e py -x rg "async def" {}
# Search, select, open
rg -l "pattern" | fzf --preview 'rg -C 3 "pattern" {}' | xargs vim
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Find TS files | fd -e ts |
| Find in src | fd -e ts src/ |
| Search pattern | rg "pattern" |
| Search in type | rg -t py "import" |
| Files with match | rg -l "pattern" |
| Count matches | rg -c "pattern" |
| Interactive | fd | fzf |
| With preview | fd | fzf --preview 'bat {}' |
Performance Tips
| Tip | Why |
|---|---|
Both respect .gitignore |
Auto-skip node_modules, dist |
Use -t over -g |
Type flags are faster |
| Narrow the path | rg pattern src/ faster |
Use -F for literals |
Avoids regex overhead |
