Exclude folders from Search dialog

Post by *obmana »

I was trying to do a search for a file, excluding some folders:

However it seems that it's not supported for LAN paths.

Does anyone have workaround how to do a search on a network drive and exclude several folders?

That's because of the way how the OR operator works.
Example: *\venv\*
!contains .git: true
!contains venv: false
true OR false = true -> path is found.

So change the "combine with" to AND:
true AND false = false -> path is not found.
