I’m a die-hard ripgrep fan, but just recently found ugrep looking for one feature that ripgrep lacks: searching in zip archives (without decompressing them to disk).

Ugrep has that. In my case, I’m working with zipped corpora of millions of small text files, so I can skip unpacking the whole thing to the filesystem (certain filesystems have trouble at this scale).

I’m grateful for both tools. Thanks to the respective authors!
