Atom's development team has significantly enhanced the efficiency of some of its most popular features, notably the fuzzy finder, which now includes an experimental fast mode in version 1.38, allowing for substantially quicker file opening and search operations. This new mode accelerates project indexing by approximately six times and boosts the speed of displaying filtered results by about 11 times, marking a noticeable improvement in user productivity. The upcoming Atom version 1.39 aims to make this fast mode the default setting and will further optimize the performance of the find and replace package, promising search speeds up to 20 times faster. These advancements have been made possible by leveraging the contributions of the open-source community, particularly the ripgrep project by @BurntSushi and the fuzzy-native project by @hansonw, which underpin the enhanced functionality of Atom's fuzzy finder and search capabilities.
