> Things I have tried Hello everybody, I’m new to obsidian. It is really a fantastic knowledge base app. Since I want to use obsidian as my knowledge base, it will handle a lot of files and folders. So I want filter out some misc files when do search or something. For example, ignore all files under a certain pattern folder like folders preceded by an underscore \_\*, \_folder\_ignored, … I noticed the feature Options -\> Files & Links -\> Excluded Files. What I’m trying to do I have search in th…

And various combinations of that using \*

You fail to mention how the syncthing conflict files look like, and whether they’re in a given folder or spread across your entire vault.

And please examplify some of your attempts on patterns you’ve tried.
