+# Configure FZF To Use fd For File Finding
+
+By default, FZF uses the `find` command as its source for fuzzy finding
+files. So [`fzf.vim`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim) will also be
+using `find` when you invoke `:Files`.  There are some speedier, more
+intelligent, and more user-friendly alternatives to `find`. I like
+[`fd`](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd).
+
+We can configure `FZF` to use `fd` by adding a line like the following to
+our `~/.vimrc` file.
+
+```vimscript
+let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND = 'fd --type f --color=always'
+```
+
+This will use `fd` to find files (`--type f`) using colorful output.
+
+We can remove some noise from the output by adding a couple extra flags:
+
+```vimscript
+let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND = 'fd --type f --color=always' --exclude .git --ignore-file ~/.gitignore'
+```
+
+This will keep the `.git` directory out of the result and prevent anything
+listed in the main `.gitignore` file from being found.
