Limit indexing areas

[vldF]

Is there any way to limit a list of directories to be indexed?

Some companies uses mono-repositories and users usually work only with certain of projects located in them. For example, two repositories at my work contains about 100k files each and continue can't index any of them.

Feature to limit indexing can significantly improved the performance of the continue plugin use

We have a guide on how to run custom indexing which gives you control to manage that amount of files. Perhaps this is a starting point for you.

Sounds good, thank you! However, I'd like to find the requested feature in the plugins

I agree with this request. I also have ~117k files with 54m lines of code in my root directory, but for indexing and code completion, there's only a subset of files (~30k files with 3m lines of code) that I really care about. It would be nice to provide either include or exclude paths for indexing, without having to run your own indexing script.
