Interactively search your project with ripgrep (rg) from a QuickPick, and jump straight to any match.
Features
Interactive search — run rg: Search with ripgrep from the Command Palette and results stream in as you type (case-smart regex, powered by rg --json).

Choose the root directory — click the folder button in the search box to type a directory path with folder-name completion (Enter completes/descends into the highlighted folder; pick Use this directory to confirm). Defaults to the current workspace.
Jump to results — highlight a result to preview it, or press Enter / click to open the file in a new tab at the exact line and column.
Requirements
No install needed — by default the extension uses the ripgrep binary that ships inside VS Code. To use your own rg instead, set rg.path to its full path (e.g. /opt/homebrew/bin/rg).
