Our Take

Most fuzzy finders for Neovim are just glorified `ls` with extra steps, but fff.nvim actually pays attention — it scores results using frecency, git status, file size, and even definition matches to surface the files you actually need before you finish typing. The MCP server integration is the real move here, since it means AI agents running Claude Code or Codex can hook directly into your file search and burn fewer tokens hunting through large codebases. Three-point-three kilostars and counting.

A tool for grepping, fuzzy file matching, globbing, and multigrepping with a strong focus on performance and useful search results. Provides typo-resistant file search for humans and fastest file search with memory for AI agents.
