Hey folks,

I have a bunch of generated files in /Generated/ subdirs in each of my libraries/projects, and sometimes when I want to Find References to a symbol that is referenced in generated files and non-generated files, what I _really_ want is to find all the places I have manually referenced them in the real, non-generated code.

In VS' Find All text search, I can do this in the 'File types' section

!*\bin\*;!*\obj\*;!*\.*\*;!*\Generated\*

And anything under a "Generated" subdir will be excluded.

Is there anything like that I can do in VAX? Sometimes I'd need to turn it off, so not a permanent/annoying change ideally. It can just be annoying when I want to find what I did with a specific type and get 100s of generated code hits that are not important to me.

Thanks!
