plugin DripGrepper: IDE plugin to parametrize ripgrep for fast search and replace

[mattia72 3]

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!
