GNU grep is an excellent tool! A similar tool that is rising in popularity is ripgrep ( https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep ), which can be orders of magnitude faster than GNU grep. Give it a try!

This appears to be the same algorithm used by ripgrep ( https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep ) for searching when SIMD/AVX is enabled. Specifically, it uses the algorithm Teddy from the library that’s derived from this paper.
