README
The Platinum Searcher 
A code search tool similar to ack and the_silver_searcher(ag). It supports multi platforms and multi encodings.
Features
- It searches code about 3–5× faster than
ack. - 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--hiddenoption, if you want to search. - It searches
UTF-8,EUC-JPandShift_JISfiles. - It provides binaries for multi platform (macOS, Windows, Linux).
Benchmarks
cd ~/src/github.com/torvalds/linux
ack EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL 30.18s user 2.32s system 99% cpu 32.613 total # ack
ag EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL 1.57s user 1.76s system 311% cpu 1.069 total # ag: It's faster than ack.
pt EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL 2.29s user 1.26s system 358% cpu 0.991 total # pt: It's faster than ag!!
Usage
$ # Recursively searches for PATTERN in current directory.
$ pt PATTERN
$ # You can specify PATH and some OPTIONS.
$ pt OPTIONS PATTERN PATH
Configuration

The options are same as command line options.
Editor Integration

if executable('pt')
let g:unite_source_grep_command = 'pt'
let g:unite_source_grep_default_opts = '--nogroup --nocolor'
let g:unite_source_grep_recursive_opt = ''
let g:unite_source_grep_encoding = 'utf-8'
endif
Emacs + pt.el
You can use pt with pt.el, which can be installed from MELPA.
