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...

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):
Code: Select all
!regex:^\. folder:
!startwith:. folder:
I personally will therefore use the above-mentioned search parameters from
therube for such queries.

... "Exclude hidden files and folders", but Everything continues to show folders starting with a dot.
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.
