title: Visual Studio - Find in files > not any node_modules folders
body: <p>So in Visual Studios you can "Find in files" a string - I find this very useful to locate a file in which some markup or JS may be found, I use VS for my main code editor for Web development.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, most of my projects use node.js and node based build tools grunt/gulp etc. so I have a node_modules folder somewhere in my project that makes the FIND take for ever as there are thousands of files!!</p>
  
  <p>How can I search in files and folders for a string BUT not in a node_modules directory.</p>
  
  <p>In SublimeText2 you can remove a folder from the project without deleting it, this will stop a search looking in there...</p>
  
  <p>A RegExp will be for the string not the filePath :(</p>
