ack is a full blown text search engine written in Perl, but packed with features that make it ideal for searching code repositories.

Works similarly to *NIX's grep tool.

Here are some key features of "ack":

· Cross-platform support
· Ignores non-text files
· Can recognize and ignore VCS files (Git, SVN, CSV)
· Documentation

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· The firstlinematch file type detection option now only searches the first 250 characters of the first line of the file.
· Many clarifications and cleanups.
