Find in Files "don't search in binary files" optio

When searching for text I want binary files to be ignored. At the moment searching all files in a directory structure results in the search results being swamped with messages saying "WARNING: Line <line-number> split at 64 KB in <file-path>

All I'm interested in are searches in text files without having to specify multiple file extension wildcards (there are a lot in my case)

Alternatively if I could specify a list of In Files wildcards that should be excluded from the search (e.g. !(*.dll *.exe *.bin) ) then that would work even better
