title: How to exclude designer.cs from Visual Studio file search
body: <p>Is there a way to exclude a particular type of .cs file when doing a search in Visual Studio 2005/8?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong> In a refactoring scenario i might search to identify string literals in my code so that i can refactor them into constants or some such. However, *designer.cs files are full of string literals which i don't care to deal with but they show up in my search and pollute the result set.</p>
  
  <p>i usually search for *.cs...</p>
  
  <p>How do i ignore *.designer.cs?</p>
