Add ignore list for built in Search tool

(The search tool in Thunar is a little more of a specific kind of search tool so this might not be agreed with, can obviously close if no one is interested)

Suggesting to add an "ignore" list for folders that you do not want to include when using built in Searches tool (Ctrl+F). Would prevent these folders from being searched in if they happen to be a subfolder within location you are doing recursive searches in.

Could add this in Thunar - Preferences
Similar to how this is available in the application "Catfish" in "Preferences - Advanced"

Or if not interested in adding graphically, could just be a text file added to .config/Thunar folder that users can manually edit?

Thank You
