Consider just switching to ripgrep instead. It's faster, and the default flags and interface are more thoughtful. This chart may make it seem less feature rich, but most of the 'features' it's missing are thing you'll never need, or things that your shell should be responsible for ("Pipe output through a pager or other command"?).

The only serious feature you might miss is lookahead/lookbehind in regexes - that's missing by design since if you want guaranteed linear time search you can't have those.

I really like the discussion that lead to the decision of never including a pager:

Good use of color as well as a visual reference for when the tools share a feature. I agree it's a good presentation.

As for search, I'm on Windows and I like to use FileLocator Pro.
