"Find all" with "occurrences to exclude"

[syedrakib]

Once we "Find All" (Cmd+Shift+F) a word/phrase, we have the option to choose "files to include", "files to exclude".

It will be great to add a textfield to choose "occurrences to exclude"

For example. When i search "maintenance":

• it reveals lines such as "maintenance", "dev maintenance:", "staging maintenance" - I want to see those lines.
• but it also reveals lines such as "prod maintenance" that i'm not interested in - I don't want to see those lines.
• so if i could add occurrences to exclude: "prod", that will give me only the results that i am interested in.

Basically, a way to filter out search results that contain a specific word/phrase in the line of that result.

Some might suggest the regex option. But it's not the easiest method for most layman users.
