Find in Files Exclusion Option

In the next update, in the Find in Files dialog, would it be possible to have a check box which inverts the file types that are searched, e.g. if *.c; *.h is in the file types box then if the 'exclude' check box was checked it would search all files apart from *.c and *.h.

CS Diff provides this when comparing folders and it's very useful - it's often a lot easier to specify what you don't want instead of what you do!!

Thanks,

Chris

i agree this would be handy especially when you're not quite sure what it is you're hunting for, you could then input *.exe *.zip *.dll and run your search
