Find in Files Option for Following Soft Links

Post by Kiwi6469 »

Can the Find in Files box please have an option to follow or not follow filesystem soft links? Note, I am not talking about junctions and hard links (though I would not care if they were blocked as well).

Reason: I use these in all projects to structure my source apart from the deployment structure with the latter linking to the former and to create links to specific source subtrees from the project root. This result in searches from the project root and the project container folder searching all code multiple times and coming up with duplicate hits.
