I find consult-ripgrep to be excellent for this.

You have to use emacs regexps though, Both complement each other.

Same. Consult in general has a bunch of great utility functions that are well integrated with the Emacs core.

I’m looking into dropping Vertico after I upgrade to 29. It’s almost incredible that Minad’s user focus and humility make that a potentially reasonable option, and I really appreciate the fantastically sound design of his completion ecosystem.

What do you mean? Vertico is a library that provides a UI for displaying completions; Consult is a library that provides commands to select items with completion. The two libraries complement each other.

I think GP agrees with you and meant keeping Consult while dropping Vertico (which is possible due since Consult works with icomplete and with default completion).

More or less both provide the same experience.

Any mention of code search should probably include the built-in project-find-regexp.
