Grep and Find

• ‘consult-grep-match’: Jump to a Grep match in related Grep buffers. Supports live preview narrowing and recursive editing.
• ‘consult-grep’, ‘consult-ripgrep’, ‘consult-git-grep’: Search for regular expression in files. Consult invokes Grep asynchronously, while you enter the search term. After at least ‘consult-async-min-input’ characters, the search gets started. Consult splits the input string into two parts, if the first character is a punctuation character, like ‘#’. For example ‘#regexps#filter-string’, is split at the second ‘#’. The string ‘regexps’ is passed to Grep. Note that Consult transforms Emacs regular expressions to expressions understand by the search program. Always use Emacs regular expressions at the prompt. If you enter multiple regular expressions separated by space only lines matching all regular expressions are shown. In order to match space literally, escape the space with a backslash. The ‘filter-string’ is passed to the fast Emacs filtering to further narrow down the list of matches. This is particularly useful if you are using an advanced completion style like orderless. ‘consult-grep’ supports preview. ‘consult-grep’ searches the current project directory if a project is found. Otherwise the ‘default-directory’ is searched. If ‘consult-grep’ is invoked with prefix argument ‘C-u M-s g’, you can specify one or more comma-separated files and directories manually. If invoked with two prefix arguments ‘C-u C-u M-s g’, you can first select a project if you are not yet inside a project.
• ‘consult-find’, ‘consult-fd’, ‘consult-locate’: Find file by matching the path against a regexp. Like for ‘consult-grep’, either the project root or the current directory is the root directory for the search. The input string is treated similarly to ‘consult-grep’, where the first part is passed to find, and the second part is used for Emacs filtering. Prefix arguments to ‘consult-find’ work just like those for the consult grep commands.
