"Ignored names" from global settings are not handled correctly

[mik01aj]

My company uses a proprietary build system adslkfsdjk. It produces lots of files in directories named adslkfsdjk-genfiles, adslkfsdjk-out, adslkfsdjk-testlogs, etc. I added adslkfsdjk-* as ignored in Atom settings, and they disappeared from tree view. Good!

But when I search for something using find-and-replace, it seems to search all the files (including these), because it hangs forever showing an empty result list with this:

...and my project has only around 2000 files. 😮

Note that when I put a list of these folder names explicitly in "Ignored names", the search starts working (and it's reasonably fast). Seems like a bug to me. 🐛

One more: When I specify a file/directory pattern like **/detail/* in find-and-replace, it starts searching these ignored folders again. 😕

Agree, it's happening to me too, It would be nice to have an option to ignore files in global search like fuzzy-finder does.

Me too. I don't want to search the node_modules subfolder when searching within my project.

Also hitting this. I'm confused why find-and-replace searches VCS ignored folders even though that config specifically says it won't?

The Ignored names setting doesn't say it will be respected by find-and-replace package.

WTBS, it'd be nice to have a per-project settings of ignored paths for find-and-replace, possibly specified in a special file at the root of the project (I specifically don't want to put the paths into .gitignore).
