Support • Re: omit results startup behavior

Thanks for sharing the result omissions.

Some suggestions to improve loading performance:



Avoid wildcards and regex.
Finding absolute paths is instant.
For example, try to use:
\\server\share\subfolder

c:\folder\subfolder


It's the complex regex filters that are taking 99.99% of the time to lookup.



c:\folder\subfolder\*

=>
c:\folder\subfolder

-the wildcard filter will be a lot slower than the absolute path lookup.



I don't support ext:
But probably should -added to my TODO list..



Apply to folders only where possible.
You will naturally have less folders than files.



regex:\\folder-name\\

=>
folder-name

-No need to use regex here, just do a full folder name match.



If possible omit the whole folders closer to the root, instead of applying a regex filter to files in a certain folder.
For example:
regex:^c:\\folder\\subfolder\\.*\.tmp$

=>
c:\folder\subfolder

-use a folder only filter, not sure if it's practical for your case, but the folders do look temporary or cache-like.
