This directory provides basic rf integration in Vim. It can be installed from this directory using make: make install The plugin provides two functions: *rf* :RF This function runs a getchar() loop, allowing you to search from the root of the current working directory, using only substring patterns, the idea being that it is very quick and simple to use, rather than exposing more of the functionality that rf provides. I usually bind the function like so: map :RF The function is very simple and will call rf with your pattern *at every key stroke*. Usually this is performant enough, but with extremely large directory trees, you may have to wait several seconds for results, which isn't great. Aside from any improvements to the implementation, just make sure that any .rfignore files, whether local or global are ignoring everything that can be ignored. *rf grep* :RFGrep search-pattern filename-pattern This function is a wrapper around `grep -r` and rf. It allows you to grep recursively over a smaller subset of files. Again the implementation is very simple but with very large directory trees or with filename patterns that match a lot of files you may hit the argument limit for grep. *Issues* Aside from the above mentioned limitations and issues, if you are using anything other than a "Bourne" shell (bash, ksh, zsh, sh) the functions may not work, in that case you may want to explictly: set shell=sh
