Is there a way to exclude certain folders (and all their subfolders) from searching within Eclipse?
Here is what works for me (I’m using Helios – maybe this way was not available when this question was originally asked?)
.svn(for example).(Actually, I’m using
.*to filter out .svn, .hg etc. in one go.)After okay’ing the project properties dialog, these directories won’t come up in search any more. In fact, Eclipse is so kind as to automatically update existing search results windows and remove all matches which are now filtered out.
