How to ignore .svn folder when searching in Total Commander

• With Total Commander 8.01: Configuration menu / Options / (Operation) / Ignore List
• With older versions: Configuration menu / Options / (Display) / Ignore List

Then add

.svn

to the textbox.

In version 9.12 you should also use an asterix. So add the following to Configuration menu / Options / (Operation) / Ignore List:

*.svn

To exclude some files or folders from your search, use the following syntax in "Search field:":

1. Exclude from search *.bak and *.old files

   my*.*|*.bak *.old
   

2. Don't search in .svn folders

   *.cs|.svn\
   

3. Don't search in .git folder

   *.cs|.git\
   

The meaning of | is: 'and not'. Everything after it is excluded from the search. This syntax can also be used in other places, for example inside the ignore list.
