Exclude all filenames that have the work backup

[authorleon]

hello. Thank you for having me here.

I would like to know what command I would put in the section of exclude files in order to exclude every file name that has the word backup_ in it?

This means if the word has backup it will show up in the results.

But if it finds backup_ then it would be excluded from the results.

Thx

Under Tools > Options > Indexes > Exclude you will find the bottom field named Exclude files: where you can type in a semicolon (;) delimited list of filenames and wildcard-filenames that should be excluded from the index. This is separate from the larger list above (Exclude folders:) and not related.

Type backup_* into that bottom field, then hit OK.
This will exclude all files that START with the word "backup_"

Otherwise type *backup_* if you want to exclude files that CONTAIN the word "backup_" anywhere in the beginning middle or end of the filename.
You can use spaces if you need to. Eg: * backup_*
