About:
ripgrep-all is a command-line wrapper that extends the capabilities of ripgrep by enabling it to search through various archive formats and compressed files. It transparently pipes content through tools like unzip, tar, and pandoc to index and search inside PDFs, Office documents, and zip archives. This provides a unified, fast search interface across a wide array of file types that standard grep cannot handle.
Key Features:
  • Seamless searching inside archives (zip, tar, gz, etc.)
  • Content extraction from PDFs and Office documents
  • Leverages ripgrep's speed and regex engine
  • Extensible via a simple configuration file
Use Cases:
  • Searching through a directory of logs contained in compressed archives
  • Finding information inside a large collection of PDF documents
  • Indexing and searching the contents of old project zip files
Alternatives:
  • ripgrep – The core tool; faster for plain text but lacks support for archives and binary formats.
  • grep – The standard Unix utility; significantly slower and lacks modern features like regex engine and parallel execution.
