Hi Christian! Thank you for your bug report.
> When starting ding and searching for a word, it takes several seconds to > show the results. This is one of the disadvantages of tre-agrep. You should think about using agrep from the glimpse package instead (ding recommends glimpse (>= 4.18.7-6) | tre-agrep because of this). In contrast to tre-agrep, agrep is much faster... > My settings are "0 errors" and "simple search". If you always use this settings, you may think about changing ding to use egrep or "internal-search" instead of tre-agrep (or agrep). You can select the search method by clicking on "Preferences" -> "Search preferences" and then select the Search method (e.g. "De<->En") and click on "Change". In the next menu you can select your preferred search command in a pull down menu. You can also configure a copy of the "De<->En" search method, that uses a different grep implementation, so you can switch between the two with one click. So from my point this isn't really an issue but maybe a missing feature (wishlist but), since it may be a good idea to automatically switch from tre-agrep to egrep if "errors=0" is selected. Since agrep (in contrast to tre-agrep) always is fast enough, my motivation of implementing this is quite limited (maybe someone else want's to write a patch?). Christian, what do you prefer: closing the bug or downgrading it to whishlist? Greetings Roland
