Stop indexing *inside* a folder

[Travis Schmeisser]

What should I do if I want the default search results to not include the elements inside particular folders? If I drag the folder itself, it's no longer searchable at all. I use that search to open common folders very often, but need to exclude the contents of specific ones. Thanks for the help!

Not sure I get this part. Drag where? Also, it’s not clear to me what exactly you want to happen, which results you want to see or not.
