What part are you struggling with?
The ripgrep (rg) part, or the cargo expand part?

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know what both of those are and how to use them. But they are entirely relevant to the thread. Did you comment in the wrong place?

Not sure how what I write is this confusing to you.

  • Tests don't necessarily live in paths containing test.
  • Code in paths containing test is not necessarily all tests.
  • cargo expand gives you options for correctly and coherently expanding Rust code, and doesn't expand tests by default.
  • rg was half a joke since it's Rust's grep. You can just pipe cargo expand [OPTIONS] [ITEM] output to vim '+set ft=rust' - or bat --filename t.rs and search from there.

Ok cool but how does that help when I'm searching a non-Rust project via the GitHub web search interface? I don't know why I'd want to search cargo expand output anyway. Using that just to avoid searching tests is a super ugly hack.

Fair.
But you are writing a comment under a topic regarding a Rust-flavored IDE, posted to a Rust community. With neither the IDE nor Rust involved, your quoted problem statement is 100% off-topic.
