Use ripgrep or ag in project.el?
I recommend https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el or the build in vc-git-grep which should be faster for git projects

New Package: Peek
Actually, this package can be regarded as the advance of the quick-peek package and the generic version of citre peek. The biggest difference between this package and quick-peek would be that the peek view is able to follow your cursor point in my thought.

What's the Emacs way to explore a new project?
I will recommend citre which is based upon ctags. The one drawback of etags.el is it will load the whole TAGS file into memory and search symbols in TAGS buffer. As compared with citre, it uses the readtags binary (typically, it's bundled in ctags package), there is no need to load it into memory.
