    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)
