Important Note
Popularity of a Feature Request is one of the factors we consider when we decide which new features to implement. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to search the forum with possible keywords.
If your request is very similar to an existing one, like it () and make a meaningful comment, rather than creating a new thread. It also keeps the forum sane! If you find duplicate threads, feel free to send the moderators a message.

Use case or problem
“Excluded files“ feature is great and works smoothly, but sometimes I need to perform extensive searches (or any other function where Excluded files affects the behavior) and I’d like to make sure I’m covering my whole vault. But for getting such results, I need to delete Excluded files, and add them back after I’ve finished.
Proposed solution
It could be as simply as adding a switch that would enable/disable the Excluded files feature (and maybe renaming to Exclude files, that is, without the “-d” letter)
Current workaround (optional)
Probably using Omnisearch might solve some issues for including Excluded files in searchs, but would not cover all of the cases (such as those related with Graph features). Furthermore, I believe Obsidian shouldn’t delegate this feature to a plugin (no matter how good it is), but rather include it in its core.
