<p><a href="https://github.com/techee" class="user-mention">@techee</a> thanks for the explanation, the plugins "project file patterns" are there to define where you tag parse for symbols I presume, not really anything to do with searching.  So a separate setting is perfectly fine.</p>
<p>So yeah it would be an enhancement for PO to add its own search mechanism using its own settings to avoid Geanys search, which tries to be helpful to beginners with a partly GUI driven search, but that makes it unsuitable for your purposes.</p>
<p>Lemme say on your behalf "pull requests are welcome" :)</p>
