Type

General question or discussion
Propose a brand new feature
Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

I have about 5000 items in the library, ripgrep FTS on them takes around 75s when run from the host CLI, may be a bit longer on Docker. It times out after 60 seconds as per a hardcoded constant in https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/archivebox/search/backends/ripgrep.py#L35

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

When I run rg --type-add 'archiveb:*.{html,txt,json}' -iltarchiveb -e 'query' archive/ instead of the original command, my search terminates in 25s.

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

We can increase the delay or make it configurable.

How badly do you want this new feature?

It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
It would be nice to have eventually

I'm willing to contribute dev time to fix this issue
I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up
