I tried check the option in "Indexes / Exclude", "Exclude hidden files and folders", but Everything continues to show folders starting with a dot.

?
Probably enough: !. but also shows files without extension...

Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > Exclude > Add Filter button > Filter =

(not testesd)

After short tests, I would like to point out that more folders are found with the queries of therube than with my queries (pls see above): I personally will therefore use the above-mentioned search parameters from therube for such queries.

BTW: That's on Unix/Linux based operating systems... On Windows there is no relationship between the two (dot vs hidden)

Hi! I have the same question. Trying the previous suggestions, I can't manage to exclude folders that start with a dot. Has it worked for anyone? Thank you very much.

To exclude folders starting with a dot (.):

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Click Add Filter....
• Set the filter to:
  
  .*
• Click OK.
• Click OK.

You're awesome! Thank you very much!

P.S. Really looking forward to the version with dark mode
