How do I tell Visual Studio to exclude folders from the Find in Files?

Question

We use subversion so we have subfolders named _svn in our solution. Doing a Find in Files returns strings from these subfolders. Is there anyway to tell Visual Studio to ignore these files?

Answer 1

Instead of searching for files in a directory (your solution's directory, in this case), you could limit your search to the files that are part of the project or the solution. Those in the _svn directories will thus be ignored.
