I don't understand how to use this feature. I'm trying to find all files that match the name IngoreList, but do not have the word vendor in the file. Is this possible?
You should be able to do this by putting -"Vendor" in the Query box.
The Exclude Files box will only exclude based on file name, but by entering -"Vendor" in the Query box, it will search the contents of the file and only show a match if it doesn't contain the word "Vendor."
Hope that helps!

I tried that, and it is not working. Most of those have the word vendor in it.

I tried that as well, but that gives me a huge list of folders (only, no files at all).

On the Advanced tab, can you try disabling all of the "Show file/folder names" options except for "Show file names that match the Includes filter"?

Still does not work. I narrowed the scope to one folder that has only one of these files and that file has "vendor" in it, so there should be zero results. Then I figured out that it was matching every line in the file that did not match -"vendor".
I had to change the Advanced setting to "Match query to the entire file". Curious why that is not set to default?
