Search improvements

Sometimes I need to look where is located some text in my folder with documents and I need to search text in all files, excluding some types. Can you add some improvements: search in defined file types, search in all files excluding desined types and search in all files excluding file masks (now you have only search in all files including file masks).
Thanks.

Well, you can already exclude certain files or directories. E.g. this search mask:

Code: Select all

*.php *.html|*.pl
..includes all PHP and HTML files, but skips all extensions noted after the pipe '|', here PL files. This also works for subdirectories. Press F1 in the search dialog for more info...

Ah, yes... I missed this feature, thanks. But search in desined types will be also very useful.

Erm, pardon? I don't get exactly what you mean. Perhaps you can find what you need in the tabs of the search dialog: You can serach for certain attributes, folders only, content plugin values, specific file dates and so on.

Yep, my fault :) I've missed Load/Save tab in search :) Topic closed.
