Exclude target folder from search results in Eclipse

I was wondering if it's possible to exclude target folder from eclipse quick search :

Ctrl+Shift+R

If anyone knows how to do that, please advise.

Update: I am using Maven 2, and M2E , WTP Eclipse plug-ins.

Mark the "target" folders as "derived" resource from the properties screen of those folders (this option is next to read only and archive property).
In the quick search (Ctrl+Shift+R) screen press the arrow in the top right corner and untick "Show derived resources".

Then those target-files will not be considered in the quick search anymore.

Go to Add Resource Filter preferences dialog:

Go to Project → Properties → Resource → Resource Filters

Click Add Filter...

Then fill the options:

Filter type:

(•)Exclude all

Applies to:

(•)Folders

[X] All children (recursive)

Filter and Folder Attributes:

Name - Matches - [target]

You can install AutoDeriv plugin from Eclipse Marketplace or http://nodj.github.io/AutoDeriv/. It allows you to create either global(workspace) or per-project .derived files in which you can specify which files/folders should be marked as derived.

Here's a sample config file (taken from plugin's homepage):

# set the 'target' and 'ext' folders as derived
target
ext
# but don't affect the 'keep' sub-folder
!target/keep
# all files with a '.dep' extension are generated
*.dep
src/include/version.h # this specific file is also generated.
