I think this should be some kind of bug or an strange feature.
Search in files is searching on excluded files and or folders!!!
That bugs me a lot since on my current project there are thousands of jpgs files that i have perfectly excluded (both the extensions and the folders), but search on files is searching on all of them, for starters shouldnt be searching on binary files. That is leaving my search in files for that project useless since it delays more than if i search the files for myself one by one. (happens both on windows and on linux)
If that is a desirable feature for some obscure reason, it would be awesome a “find in project” or something like that.
Peace!
