+The nice custom table for Denote files is the only unique 'feature' of this plugin. If you don't care about that you should just use `fzf-lua` on its own.
+## Dependencies
+
+* `fzf` - Fuzzy finder
+* `ripgrep` - Fast `grep` replacement
+* `fd` (OPTIONAL) - Fast `find` replacement
+* `sd` (OPTIONAL) - Fast `sed` replacement
+* `qsv` (OPTIONAL) - Fast `column` replacement
+
+```
+Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S fzf ripgrep fd sd
+ yay -S qsv-bin
+
+Debian: sudo apt install fzf ripgrep fd sd
+
+qsv is available here: https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv
+```
+
+If the optional dependencies are missing `denote-fzf-lua` falls back to standard Unix tools.
+
+As a rough benchmark, the Rust tools can perform a search through 10k notes in 0.1s vs. 0.2s for standard tools on my PC. For 100k notes it's 0.6s vs. 2.1s.
+
+`qsv` is used over the smaller, more ubiquitous `xsv` because it can table format very large inputs (e.g. 100k notes) without errors.
