ugrep --query
-
Search the current directory recursively for files containing a regex search pattern:
ugrep "{{search_pattern}}"
-
Search in a specific file or in all files in a specific directory, showing line numbers of matches:
ugrep --line-number "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
-
Search in all files in the current directory recursively and print the name of each matching file:
ugrep --files-with-matches "{{search_pattern}}"
-
Fuzzy search files with up to 3 extra, missing or mismatching characters in the pattern:
ugrep --fuzzy={{3}} "{{search_pattern}}"

zip
andtar
archives recursively:

Search only files whose filenames match a specific glob pattern:
