Find in Project does not find matches in .gitignored files

[chrs-b]

Reproduction steps

1. Open a gitignored file and select a word in it (for instance by double clicking a word)
2. Open "Find in Project" (Cmd-Shift-F or Edit > ) and start search
3. Results will not include matches in the gitignored file

The related setting "Search & Files > Include Ignored in Search" does not seem to have any effect. Matches not found regardless of how this setting is configured.

Current vs. Expected behavior

It would be great to be able to include gitignored files in "Find in Project", however, some languages create local dirs (like Rust /target), which usually should be excluded.

I often work with excluded files (e.g. containing sensitive data or temporary files) that I would like to have included in "Find in Project".

Maybe an optional separate "do not ignore file" could be used for "Find in Project"?

You can also enable searching in ignored files on a search-by-search basis by toggling filters (it's that icon in the top left corner) and then toggling "Also search in files ignored by configuration" (bottom right cornern of that area):
