"search.exclude" setting affects "cSpell.ignorePaths"

[nikolay-borzov]

If you specify:

"search.exclude": {
  "dist": true
}

then sub-folder dist/ is ignored by the spell checker.

It does make sense though, but not obvious

You make a good point, it is not obvious. But it does ignore the search exclude by default. That was a feature request.

Do you have any suggestions on how to communicate this in a more obvious way?

I guess we can add a note on the help page - something about relying on VS Code search engine

[Jason3S]

I have starting documenting this behavior in the FAQ
