+Ag is a code searching tool similar to grep and ack, but with a focus on speed.
+
+Ag searches code about 3–5× faster than ack. It ignores file patterns from your
+.gitignore and .hgignore. If there are files in your source repo you don't want
+to search, just add their patterns to a .agignore file. The command name is 33%
+shorter than ack!
