feat: independent search

[tbung]

Closes #5.

I'll commit some more documentation later (i.e. on replacing rg with a different tool). We may consider replacing rg by default with grep, although rg is faster everybody has grep installed.

Regarding rg, I'd suggest checking if it's executable and if not, falling back to grep since as you said most people have it installed.

If you default to grep, a good chunk of people won't bother to change it and will have a worse experience out of the box.

[tbung]

Good idea, added!

[vuki656]

This probably isn't needed anymore

[petertriho]

Probably worth just keeping this just in case

[tbung]

Yes, this basically cleanly saveguards against not having grep installed. I know grep is on every Linux system, I don't know about macOS, and I'm sure Windows doesn't have it.

[vuki656]

But this check on line 27 and on line 21 are the same?

[petertriho]

I believe it's to check for rg then grep

[petertriho]

This is looking good. I'll need to test this before I merge this in but do you know if this works with things like ignorecase?

[tbung]

I completely forgot about that, I will have to conditionally add some flags. Shouldn't be difficult, I'll update later today.

[CallumHoward]

Any update on this one?

@CallumHoward Refactor of the main codebase is in the works, I'll try to add independent search based off this when I have the chance

[CallumHoward]

I'm excited for this refactor! Thanks for your hard work
