Support exclusion mask also for trees in the Search tool

I can't find a way of exclusion a certain tree in search tool except by marking
the tree and inverting the selection
But the better way will be something like this
Search in: C:\ | %WINDIR%;%ProgramFiles%

You can add a directory exclusion by adding it to "Search for" like:

When I type in 'Search for'
*.log | %WINDIR%\
it is the same like
*.log | C:\WINDOWS\
But 'Search for' exclusion doesn't work with full paths. That's the problem.
When the 'Search in' input suppose more than a single drive, then the drive letter specification in the exclusion mask may becomes important.
Here it is the example demonstrating the reason of my suggestion
Search for: *.mp3 | %$MYMUSIC%
Search in: C:\;D:\;...(all drives)
How to realize it?
The idea can be extended to the exclusion of of a network tree
... | \\somePC\someTree\...
It seems to me the natural place of a
full path exclusion is in the 'Search in' input.
Search for: *.mp3
Search in: C:\;D:\;...(all drives) | %$MYMUSIC%
The complete improvement will also have to support 'Everything'.
