Looking for a way to exclude folders from Site search, updates and syntax check?

Thank you.

There's nothing built in for this purpose; sorry.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

This would be a helpful addition to keep from searching in folders one would not need to look in. For instance, I would not necessarily need to search "node_modules", or "env" folders. The "node_modules" folder can get fairly large.

Thanks,

Multi-File Search skips node_modules folders by default; and
otherwise provides advanced filtering capabilities, should you
choose to employ them.

Enjoy,

Rich's response notwithstanding, couldn't you create another project that excludes those folders, just for the purpose of doing those checks?
