Claude Code ditches RAG for simple file search and it just works

I’ve been using Claude Code for about 3 weeks now, and honestly, it’s been a game changer for my software development speed. One thing that stands out: Instead of using the typical RAG based search, Claude Code opts for straightforward “find” and “sed” commands for file search. And it’s surprisingly effective.

For anyone building non-coding agents: Do you think dropping RAG in favour of simple file search is a better approach for searching through files? Is it more effective in real-world scenarios?
