When I first started using VS code, I was googling around for a ripgrep extension for search. It took me a bit to find that oh, that's already the default. Shocking getting used to not having 40 years of legacy coming from emacs :)
It's Emacs, so configuring it to use ripgrep instead of native is grep is possible in a few lines of Emacs lisp in your configuration file. See https://stegosaurusdormant.com/emacs-ripgrep/
I'm using ivy/avy/counsel in Emacs and there's counsel-rg, which I use all the time. It's fantastic. It's not stock, but it's really easy to configure (and it calls ripgrep under the hood, so you need to install ripgrep).
