Very often, I don't want to look for files that aren't tracked under Git VC, and I'm not looking for matches in binary files, so by default, ripgrep does that, which can cut time by 99%.
I used to grep in small dirs, now I can I can ripgrep in my whole home, not that I do it, but I can. That + Sourcegraph on master branch, and it makes searching for any other thing than plain text feel sooo slow (Atlassian Confluence and Jira, Google docs, etc.).
