[–] chmaynard 3y ago ↗ First sentence:> grep, ag, and ripgrep search for files that match regular expressions on your filesystem.Seems misleading. My understanding is that grep and ripgrep do not search for files, they search for strings contained in files. Not sure about ag. [–] jpe90 3y ago ↗ You're right, that isn't worded very well. Thanks for the feedback.Edit: I've updated the sentence to one which is arguably better but still not good. Writing is hard!
