How can I make Eclipse file search not include svn directories?

I would like to perform a search but exclude all .svn directories from the search. How could I do that?

By the way, I have the Subversive plugin installed in Eclipse, if it's needed.

Thanks, this works great. Just remember (unlike me) to repeat this for each project you have open. – ettore Mar 10 '11 at 07:47
Another pattern that works is \*.svn\* – bnguyen82 Feb 28 '12 at 09:46
rocking. ty. in osx i thought there was some way to make this a system-wide default, but i'm not finding it. – orion elenzil May 04 '12 at 17:20
I had to refreseh (right click on project -> refresh) my project manually in order for this to work. Thank you! – flu Jan 30 '13 at 13:11
For some reason it only worked for me if I selected "Files and Folders" from step 4. – user1532390 Feb 01 '13 at 19:12
good to know and of course it works with any .git .svn .old .private directories.. – fiorentinoing Oct 07 '15 at 13:19

I think that the easiest way is creating a Working Set:

Open Search dialog (Ctrl+h)
Change search scope to Working Set
Click Choose ...
Click New to create a new Working Set with the what you want searched (alternatively you can Add All and then remove the ones you want filtered (the .svn dirs).

Hope it helps

This does not work great as there are .svn folders in folder/package in the tree. – sixtyfootersdude May 09 '11 at 20:43
