regex
An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.
Yes. I'm the one who implemented the case folding the `fd` uses (via its regex engine).
See: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/master/UNICODE.md#rl...
And then Unicode itself for more discussion on the topic: https://unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Simple_Loose_Matches
TR18 used to have a Level 3[1] with the kind of locale-specific custom tailoring support found in GNU's implementation of POSIX locales, but it was so fraught that it was retracted completely some years ago.

in complete agreement, with tools like fd getting more visibility!
we sponsored fd's development a while back and we occasionally sponsor terminal tool authors from time to time at Terminal Trove. (0)
we're currently sponsoring zellij which I encourage you to check out and sponsor! (1)

I just use at the command line:
? toolname
Eg
? git branch
which gives me common examples of git branch
For anything I can't remember. It aliases to tldr which is normally up to date with new tools.
See also cheat.sh etc.

While mostly true, there's a large problem with lots of these Rust CLI tools (and I use some of them, don't misunderstand me): they often discard the UNIX philosophy in favour of newbie friendliness and glitter.
For example, ripgrep shouldn't merge find and grep (actually, I use a personal wrapper around `find ... -exec grep ... {} +` because my only beef with this is that find's syntax to exclude stuff is horrible, https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/find_grep). Or you see something like https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng/issues/629 because people don't even know how to use xargs...

Oh man that's nowhere near fair! ripgrep is one tiny little command that is mostly compatible with GNU grep. Lots of the flags are the same. And its default usage is really easy: `rg whatever`.
But I gave it ten minutes and ported part of https://github.com/BurntSushi/dotfiles/blob/bedf3598f2501ad5... to https://github.com/BurntSushi/dotfiles/blob/bedf3598f2501ad5...
Not much, but it took me some time to get the basics down.
One thing that stood out to me was that startup times are kinda brutal. I'm not sure if that's intended or if it's something about my environment:
$ cat /tmp/murex-test -

cool site, have you considered using asciicinema instead of screenshots? Seems like the perfect tool for what you're trying to do

I used sql instead of flags to make it easier to remember - see https://github.com/laktak/zfind

alfred-pathfind
Alfred workflow to search multiple custom locations, matching keywords anywhere in the filename or enclosing folder entire paths
I just released an Alfred workflow[0] for searching a group of user-defined directories, that heavily relies on fd under the hood. Thank you @sharkdp for this amazing tool, I use it every day and it is wonderful.
Hyperfine is another underrated gem that is just so great.

ripgrep
ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
I'm sure you can get creative. :-) You can set an environment variable to control the encoding, expose a flag or any one of a number of other things to control the encoding.
You've also continued to ignore my most substantive rebuttal: that a specific example where ripgrep is not compatible with grep or doesn't behave the same doesn't mean it can't be used in shell pipelines. Literally nothing you've said has invalidated anything I've said. All you're doing is finding things that some implementations of grep can do that ripgrep (intentionally) cannot do in exactly the same way. But that's fine, because ripgrep was never, isn't and will never be compatible with grep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#pos...
So if you need grep compatibility get a fucking clue and just use grep.

sed has to be one of the worst POSIX tools. It sounds simple enough, but everytime I reach for sed it doesn't do what I want, either because it doesn't align with how I do things, or because it just doesn't support doing what I want.
I've switched to sd[1] because it basically just works as I expect every time.
