Description Jeffery Yuan CLA 2018-07-12 14:27:20 EDT
We search code everyday, it's important function in a IDE.

Currently we can only specify file name patterns in "File Search" dialog.

This limits its function, people are asking how to exclude test code or include or exclude specific folders in stackoverflow. 
 
It would be great if we can include and exclude directory patterns, just like Atom(Github), so we can easily only search source code:
**/src/main/**/*.java

Expected features:
1. Support include or exclude directory: **/src/main/**/*.java
2. Support globstar pattern: **
