ngrep

Overview ¶

Command ngrep searches lines for semantic similarity to a query using Apple's NaturalLanguage embeddings — a neural alternative to grep.

Unlike grep which matches exact text patterns, ngrep finds lines whose meaning is close to the query.

Usage:

ngrep <query> [file]
cat lines.txt | ngrep "fast car"

Flags:

-n int         Maximum number of results (default: 10)
-threshold     Maximum distance to include (0-2, default: 1.0)
-distance      Print distance alongside each line
