pare-search

Our take

Code-search server from the Pare monorepo (131 stars, 9 contributors, MIT, actively pushed) that wraps ripgrep, fd, jq, and yq and returns typed JSON instead of raw terminal output, with the same token-efficiency pitch as its already-reviewed lint sibling. It runs locally over stdio via npx (@paretools/search, Node 20+), needs no API key, and the underlying binaries are battle-tested tools rather than a bespoke search engine. Adoption is early — roughly 80 npm downloads/week — and you must have ripgrep and fd on PATH yourself, and agents with native grep tooling may not gain much on simple queries. Note the registry also carries this package under the stale name io.github.Dave-London/search; this entry is the canonical one. For agent users already invested in the Pare family, or anyone who wants structured search results without shell-output parsing.
