Suggestion: Add show or hide of Recycle Bin to menu

Post by mschmitt »

I want to index the Recycle Bin, but I rarely want it to show in the results.

I did see and turn on that you can use Index > Result Omissions to enter an expression to hide the Recycle Bin from the results.

That works, but I would argue that...
  • People would more often want to hide the Recycle Bin than show those results
  • That using Index > Result Omissions to do so is not obvious (I only found it by searching this forum)
  • Knowing what expression to use to filter out the Recycle Bin is even less obvious
To me, this is like searching macOS mail: it doesn't search the deleted mail by default, but you can tell it to when you want to. So I'm thinking that it should be a toggle in the Search menu.

I will consider a hide/show recycle bin option.

Thank you for the suggestion.
