How to prevent ST2 from searching in excluded folders?

I've got a sublime-project like this:

{
   "folders":
   [
      {
         "path": ".",
         "folder_exclude_patterns": ["_doc", "cache", "logs", "_release"],
         "file_exclude_patterns": ["*.sublime-workspace"]
      }
   ]
}

In particular I'm excluding _doc, _release, etc. from the project. They seem to be excluded fine since they don't show up in the side bar. However, when I do a search, ST also searches in these folders and returns all kind of unrelated results.

For instance, if I do this search:

I get results such as this, even though the file is in the _doc folder, which has been excluded:

Any idea how to avoid this?

Solution 1:

You should try to use <project> or <open folders> instead of dot (.) in Where: field.
