The problem
Working with global search would be more useful if we could exclude files to be searched.
The main motivation for this is performance - The editor freezes for minutes trying to search every single file in the system. This task is possible in other code editors, like VS Code.
Another benefit would be less clutter while searching. For example, if we're searching for all matches of word class in the code, we probably don't need the matches from *.md files
Ideas regarding a possible solution
- The ability to whitelist files for global search - if not matched, don't search
- The ability to blacklist files for global search search - if matched, don't search
- defining these by glob or regex syntax - regex would be a more robust solution I think
