Find in Files (avoid) Filter

Maheedharan Rengarajan

I am a great fan of “Find in Files” option, as it helps me run through extensive code repository to search for a keyword in all files. The one that troubles me is the binary files (eg, .jar) which comes in the way and makes the search messy. So I am trying to find a way where I can avoid few file extension while i search. Is it something that is already available which I am being so dumb to not finding it?

Hello Maheedharan-Rengarajan,

afaik there is exclude filter but what you can do is to use multiple extension at once
like

*.h *.cpp *.c

Maybe this is another way to do it?
