# helm-searcher
> Helm interface to use searcher.
[](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-searcher/actions/workflows/test.yml)
`helm-searcher` uses the [searcher](https://github.com/jcs-elpa/searcher) Emacs package as its backend.
`searcher` is similar to tools like `ag`, `rg`, or `grep`, but is written entirely in Emacs Lisp and runs natively within Emacs, without external dependencies.
## 🔨 Usage
### Searching
`helm-searcher-search-file`
Search `string` or `regex` in current file or buffer.
`helm-searcher-search-project`
Search `string` or `regex` in current project.
### Replacing
`helm-searcher-replace-file`
Search and replace `string` or `regex` in current file or buffer.
`helm-searcher-replace-project`
Search and replace `string` or `regex` in current project.
