It searches code as fast as the_silver_searcher(ag).
It ignores file patterns from your .gitignore.
It ignores directories with names that start with ., eg .config. Use --hidden option, if you want to search.
It searches UTF-8, EUC-JP and Shift_JIS files.
It provides binaries for multi platform (macOS, Windows, Linux).
