As the FIXME in there says, they probably shouldn't be hardcoded. > I believe that default excludes should be installed in the user's > config files at install time rather than hard coded.

To index Makefiles successfully, you'd also need a filter which could parse them and extract meaningful text from them. One reason why they're in the exclude list by default is because we don't have such a filter and since every makefile is simply named "Makefile", searches based on the name are largely worthless. > Is there any way to override the built in excludes? Not without removing them from the source, sorry. Patches always welcome!
