Feature request: search in folder improvement

[iahung3]

Allow specifying the file extensions to search. For example, the directory contains both C#, Java, and C++ source files. But I only want to search in C++ source files (.h and .cpp extensions).

I'm fairly certain you could use Lua patterns for that

File names cannot be filtered with Lua patterns because they are used for the file contents not the file path. This feature will be added.

This has been implemented in develop. You can now include or exclude files with glob patterns, the same way that it works in sublime_text. So basically if you want to filter all .lua files you will set *.lua as a filter. To exclude we will use "-" to invert the glob pattern (same as sublime), so instead of *.lua you'll write -*.lua. You can set as many patterns as needed separated by comma. So if you want to filter for example two different extensions you can do something like *.lua,*.cpp. It's possible to filter sub-directories and any kind of path that can be filtered with glob.
