VS Code Search workaround for "search.exclude"

The following workaround worked for me ✔️

I wanted to exclude /node_modules but include /node_modules/asch-core for search.

In the .vscode/settings.json file I configured:

{
  "search.exclude": {
    "**/node_modules/": true,
  },
  "search.useIgnoreFiles": false,
  "search.useGlobalIgnoreFiles": false
}

search.useIgnoreFiles: false → search uses .gitignore files: no search.useGlobalIgnoreFiles: false → search uses global .gitignore files: no

On the left panel I untoggled the "Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files" _ Then I added the directory I wanted to include (in my case: /node_modules/asch-core, ./*) into the files to include TextBox.

settings.json

{
  "search.exclude": {
    "**/node_modules/": true,
  },
  "search.useIgnoreFiles": false,
  "search.useGlobalIgnoreFiles": false
}
