Allow override of excluded search files (i.e force include them) #27474
|
Please add an option to override the exclusion of files to index, either on a repo or organization level. There are already a few discussions about unexpected excluded files (#10361 #13919), and I just found another case of In the aforementioned discussions @colinwm has referred users to the FAQ, but it does not contain the list of excluded files. Having these files excluded from search, while also not knowing which are these files excactly, creates a dangerous case of false negative searches when trying to investigate cross-repository issues. |

Totally agree that the surprising absence of files from the index is not acceptable, and we've gotten a lot of feedback on that. We are working hard on scaling our index to include all files, so that this won't be an issue. Unfortunately you'll have to wait a bit for updates on that. |
