-#### Ripgrep
-For proper sort order of daily notes, the `rg` executable ([Ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep)) is required and needs to be installed so that nvim can find it. So make sure it's in your path.
-
-If rg isn't found at `setup()` time, it will not be used. In that case, the sort order of daily and weekly notes are likely to be reversed or total garbage. I do accept pull requests, though, for a lua implementation 😁!
-
-If you can't use `rg`, I recommend using `goto_today()` and `goto_thisweek()` instead of `find_daily_notes()` and `find_weekly_notes()`, as this pre-fills the search field, which makes the results list look a bit more sane.
