Faster searching strategies?

[Ch0ronomato]

Hi!

Just curious - I'm doing a dummy search over a cidr range 10.11.128.0/17, which I wrote as

for ip in 10.11.{128..255}.{0..255}
do
rg -F $ip
done

it's not that slow, but it is pretty beefy and uses a lot of resources - any suggestions on how to improve the peformance?

It searches over these directories btw

 18M	dir1
1000M	dir2

Without a full reproduction, it's hard to say, but why not ask ripgrep to search for all things simultaneously? e.g.,

$ for ip in 10.11.{128..255}.{0..255}; do
  echo $ip >> patterns
done
$ rg -F -f patterns
