About scout

scout is a command-line search tool for finding regular-expression patterns recursively through directory trees. It follows common search conventions by respecting ignore rules, applying defaults for hidden files, handling binary files, and presenting results in a style familiar to users of fast source-search tools. It is implemented in .NET Native AOT and includes statically linked PCRE2 support for regular expressions. The tool is suited to developers and technical users who need to locate text across many files from a terminal. Ignore rules help avoid searching generated or otherwise excluded content, while regular expressions allow patterns more flexible than a literal word. The available information does not specify command syntax or platform support beyond the product record's Windows platform. Its stated scope is recursive, regex-based text search with familiar filtering and output behavior.
