Search in Directories should exclude backups

Who ever worked with Delphi knows:
backup is tricky.
These files are only dcu, those only backup, third are needed, those you can doe easily a second time...
As he was programmer, he wrote a backup solution and donated it to public.
Just for backup.
The public has no idea, where the donator came from and what his motivation was.
I learnt his "secret", because I once told him, that his open source is the best thing, I ever could imagine for Delphi backup.
So grab it, it does it all, what we need to save our sources.

The OP does not want to backup anything, he wants to search within IDE for something, including sub-folders with excluding "backup" folder (in delphi terms "__history" & "__recovery")
My way of fixing would be to patch the original Lazarus source code to add option "[] exclude backup" on that search formular.

When I do a search in directories, searching through my source code, it'd be really great if it didn't search into the backup directories. So many false matches...

Agree 100%.
Also when searching like this I often edited files in the backup folder due to this.
Bart:
There already is a feature request for that in the bugtracker.
I'm too lazy to look it up for you.
