Folder excluded from search but not sure why

[guill]

i think i excluded the vendor directory globally for all my projects from the search a while ago but can’t remember how. if i right click in the sidebar and choose Find in Folder..., the Where input is filled with /Users/guill/Development/hq.sleeplessmind.com.mo/vendor,<project filters>. with that search input, it still can’t find anything within the vendor directory, but if remove <project filters> then it works. i thought the <project filters> were what i’ve defined the project settings, which doesn’t include the vendor directory (see below). do i get all this mixed up?

{
	"folders":
	[
		{
			"folder_exclude_patterns": [
				".git",
				"laradock*",
				".docker-sync",
				"storage/framework",
				"storage/debugbar",
			],
			"path": "~/Development/hq.sleeplessmind.com.mo"
		},
	]
}

thanks.
