An Improved Emacs Search

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • swiper

    Ivy - a generic completion frontend for Emacs, Swiper - isearch with an overview, and more. Oh, man! (by abo-abo)

  • This is a good improvement. Personally though I left isearch behind. For further search convenience / functionality I highly recommend swiper.

  • helm-swoop

    Efficiently hopping squeezed lines powered by Emacs helm interface

  • I am thinking myself of whether swiper/swoop functionality can entirely replace isearch, or whether it is better kept separate. You never use isearch at all?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
