Yes and no. The interactive version appears to be because it displays results as it goes. However for pure command line, it will be fast but not comparable to ripgrep/grep/silver server or others.
I want it fast, but absolute performance is not a goal as its a trade off with any ranking algorithm. Not really the same sort of tool.
Feel free to try it out if you are able to build from source. It certainly has some bugs in there over large codebases in the UI which I am aware of but does work generally.
This is super cool! Could see myself using this when I'm feeling foggy-brained and want to bash keys until something useful comes up. But I also just love how it looks; nice interactive TUI apps are always a pleasure to use. Good luck getting it stable!
Thank you. It is rather nice to use. The instant feedback is fantastic for code spelunking in my opinion.
The tui is indeed the sticking point and the thing people like the most. I had planned on sticking an embedded HTML page in there as well but that might be a bit much for a first version.

Anyway here is a search over my projects directory which is about 5.7 GB of content https://github.com/boyter/cs/blob/master/large-search.gif
