+** (Rip)grep
+*** Grep Preamble
+Grep is a historical artefact.  It is a searching utility that allows
+one to search files for certain regex patterns.  The fact that there
+have been so many attempts to replace grep (with some success) only
+goes to show how important a tool it is.
+
+Ripgrep is a grep-like utility written in Rust.  It subsumes not only
+the ability to search a given file but also to search multiple files
+within a directory (which is usually only found by composing the
+program find with grep to search multiple files).  Being incredibly
+fast through its regex optimisations, it also uses ignore files such
+as =.gitignore= to remove files from its searches.
+
+Grep has default Emacs utilities that use a =compilation= style buffer
+to search a variety of differing data sets.  =grep= searches files,
+=rgrep= searches in a directory using the =find= binary and =zgrep=
+searches archives.  This is a great solution for most environments as
+most of them will have grep and find installed.  Even when you =ssh=
+into a remote machine, they're likely to have these tools.
+
+The ripgrep package provides utilities to ripgrep projects and files
+for strings via the rg binary.  Though [[*Ivy][ivy]] comes with =counsel-rg=
+using it makes me dependent on the ivy framework, and this
+configuration is intentionally built to be modular and switchable.  Of
+course, this requires installing the rg binary which is available in
+most common repositories nowadays.  In terms of general speed, this is
+better.
