Hello everyone,
I'd like to introduce my first Delphi IDE extension: DripGrepper.
DripGrepper uses ripgrep to enable extremely fast searching. Based on my experience, in a ~20 GB repository, it delivers results within 3 seconds—that’s 3 to 5 times faster than the standard Delphi IDE search!
If you're interested in a comparison with other search tools, you'll find an overview here.
The current release includes both a standalone version and DLLs for:
Delphi 11
Delphi 12.1 CE
Delphi 12.3 Athen
DripGrepper is still in beta, so errors may occur. Nevertheless, it has already become an integral part of my workflow—and I can work productively with it.
Last Updates:
14.07.2025 New version with Delphi 12.3 support: v4.9.0-beta
01.07.2025 New version: v4.8.0-beta
Tip:
Try out the "Open With..." feature via Delphi Tools → DripExtensions → Open With... to open the file you're currently editing:
I look forward to your feedback!
