<![CDATA[How to exclude some folders from find in files]]>Hi
In my project folders there are some indexing folders that contains a lot of files of the same type as I’m searching in, so I was wondering if it is possible to exclude these index folders, they are all named the same.
Is that possible ?
Thanks in advance
Asger

Use Filters, as described here in the manual

For example, as said in the manual,

  • !+\log* will recursively not search any files in folders that start with log (so directories like .\log, .\logs, .\other\logfiles, .\many\layers\deep\log will all be excluded from the search)
