The bottleneck, in my case, was indeed the poorly designed GUI of JetBrains and VSCode versus CLI. By migrating to CLI, I have abandoned intelligent queries as well. This project seems like a bridge: it preserves CLI, but restores the queries.
This is a promising road that I would probably not take. I have learned to live with simple per-line regular expressions. I have never felt that they slow me down.
In fact, the opposite is true: they let me craft fuzzy queries clearly, i.e., to balance the fuzziness across the query. I’ve never learned to do that with the black-box intelligent queries, which severely limited my scope in the past.
