The **Filters** list is a space-separated list of wildcard expressions that cmd.exe can understand, like `*.doc foo.*`. If you have a blank filter, it is implied to be `*.*`. As of Notepad++ v7.8.2, you can also exclude certain file patterns by prefixing the filter with a `!`; for example, **Filters: `!*.bin *.*`** will exclude files matching `*.bin` from the search results, but include any other filename; if you have at least one exclusion in your filter, you need to have at least one inclusion in your filter, otherwise it excludes files from the 0 matched inclusion files, resulting in no files matched, which probably isn't what you want. Please also note that the PathMatchSpec() Windows API is being used, as its behavior departs from cmd.exe wildcard parsing sometimes.

* **☐ Follow current doc** ⇒ if enabled, it will default to searching the folder that contains the current active document (this sets the `fifFolderFollowsDoc` in `config.xml`).

* **☐ In hidden folders** ⇒ if enabled, it will search hidden sub-folders as well as normally-visible sub-folders.
