Ag (aka "the silver searcher") is a very fast replacement for grep.
It will parse your .gitignore for additional speedup. To ignore even more files (node_modules, *.min.js etc), add an .ignore with syntax identical to .gitignore.
See Faster Grepping in Vim Show archive.org snapshot for hints about vim integration.
