Bad For searching

if you see the picture
I dont have to tell you now what is problem with this tool.


tldr: I am searching for "openai" folder , it should give me good results like main folder where my projects lives in, but it is giving me a folder or file from the ".bin" or "node modules"(after giving more path info than raycast {not shown in the pic}), these are the irrelevant folders . you can compare the result between raycast vs voidtools .

Thank you for the feedback prime,

Please try reducing what is indexed under Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> E: -> Include Only and Tools -> Options -> Exclude.
Index only your project folders.


Useful searches:

folder:
match folders only

ww:openai
match whole words for openai

whole:e:\openai
match the whole path for e:\openai
