Fd: Search in Files

I would be really awesome to have a feature to search text inside files.

You may need ripgrep. E.g. rg ---files-with-matches -0 PATTERN [path]...

Yes, there are other tools that are designed for this purpose (like ripgrep, grep, ag, etc.).

If you have already built a search query in fd, you can still use xargs to search exactly these files:

> fd -e rs '^[am]' 
src/app.rs
src/fshelper/mod.rs
src/lscolors/mod.rs
src/main.rs
tests/testenv/mod.rs

> fd -e rs '^[am]' | xargs grep 'fn main'
src/main.rs:fn main() {
