# ugrep
> Ultra fast search tool with query TUI.
> More information: <https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep>.
- Start a query TUI to search files in the current directory recursively (CTRL-Z for help):
`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}}"`
- Also search compressed files, Zip and tar archives recursively:

`ugrep --decompress "{{search_pattern}}"`
- Search only files whose filenames match a specific glob pattern:
`ugrep --glob="{{glob_pattern}}" "{{search_pattern}}"`
- Search only C++ source files (use `--file-type=list` to list all file types):
`ugrep --file-type=cpp "{{search_pattern}}"`
