Searching for word ‘parallel’ in my ‘blog’ fodler

rg parallel         - took 2s
rg -uuu parallel    - took 32s
ug parallel         - took 18s
ack parallel        - took 19s
ug --save-config --ignore-files --no-tree
ug parallel         - took 4s

Where rg -uuu should disable all filters, like ignoring git stuff.
Where ug --save-config --ignore-files --no-tree should do the opposite.
