How can I tell IntelliJ's "Find in Files" to ignore generated files? -

i need find in files. want ignore or exclude generated files, jax-ws artifacts or classes in target folders. how can tell idea exclude these files find?

create custom scope defining set of files include/exclude search.

1. ctrl+shift+f find in path dialog. (mac users press command+shift+f)

2. under scope select custom.

   

3. choose scope drop down list or create custom scope clicking on ... button right of dropdown.

4. in dialog appears, click on + button , select local
5. on right pane can include , exclude individual files , recursively include or exclude files beneath folder.

now when use find in path, use custom scope restrict files searched.

i suspect reference find in files in question these instructions may not apply version useful know functionality exists , there 30 day evaluation version.
