I guess it's the one that's part of ripgrep, https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/tree/master/globset > This crate implements globs by converting them to regular expressions, and executing them with the regex crate.

comment by adito · 2017-04-24 · in Glob Matching Can Be Simple and Fast Too

If you mention ack, ag, and pt, you also have to mention ripgrep (rg) https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep which has the usability features of the newer grep-alikes but is as fast or faster than gnu grep.

comment by fanf2 · 2017-03-18 · in Programs that have saved me 100+ hours

You should try ripgrep ( https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep ) which has the same functionality but with 2 orders of magnitude faster.
