rgfind — Search Results With Their Alibis

Field notes

The homepage demonstrates the difference between an ordinary ripgrep search and rf across three files: one tracked, one hidden, and one gitignored. The tool reports the filter responsible for each omission and emits commands using -u or -uu to verify the broader search. Its interface also standardizes results in a JSON envelope and assigns distinct exit codes to empty results, bad input, environment failures, internal faults, and snapshot conflicts.
