Replit introduced a new Code Search tool that supports word filters, regular expressions, include/exclude patterns, and replacements with capture groups. The tool uses ripgrep and streams results via crosis, achieving an average 40% faster initial response. It also features list virtualization, output limits, multiple panes, search history, and keyboard navigation.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/the-journey-to-code-search:

> Instead, we can take advantage of crosis's ability to stream the output back to us in chunks that we can parse and display on the fly. It may seem small, but from this simple change we get an average 40% faster in showing search results.
