By default out-of-the-box, the selected engine is a simple but efficient tool similar to `grep -r` called [`ripgrep`](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep).
Ripgrep is [currently the fastest](https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/) available *filesystem search* tool that scans over the raw disk bytes on every search. We chose it as the default so that beginners and 95% of users with small collections can have an experience that "just works", without needing to install and maintain complex additional dependencies or background workers.

We chose it as the default so that beginners and 95% of users with small collections can have an experience that "just works", without needing to install and maintain complex additional dependencies or background workers.
However, there are some fundamental limitations of scanning through every file on disk each time a search is done, so ArchiveBox provides a number of additional search backend options for when users outgrow `ripgrep`.
