ripgrep-all/README.md

rga - ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip, tar.gz, etc

similar:

• pdfgrep
• https://gist.github.com/ColonolBuendia/314826e37ec35c616d70506c38dc65aa

todo

• jpg adapter (based on object classification / detection (yolo?)) for fun
• 7z adapter (couldn't find a nice to use rust library)

considerations

• matching on mime (magic bytes) instead of filename
• allow per-adapter configuration options

Setup

rga should compile with stable Rust. To install it, simply run

apt install build-essential pandoc poppler-utils sqlite3
cargo install ripgrep_all

rga --help

Some rga adapters run external binaries

Development

To enable debug logging:

export RUST_LOG=debug
export RUST_BACKTRACE=1

Also rember to disable caching with --rga-no-cache or clear the cache in ~/.cache/rga to debug the adapters.
