How to skip .svn-base files in file search of Eclipse?

Whenever i perform a file search in eclipse, it scans all files including .svn-base file.
Provided i am using * for file name patterns.

Is it possible to scan all files for searching but skipping the .svn-base file?

You also have custom plugins for excluding .svn and .cvs directories during searches.

If you have Subclipse, the search filtering is included.

Note: since Eclipse Helios 3.6M3 (October 30, 2009), you can actually exclude resources from your project, making the search more precise as a result.

It is possible. But the search pattern is inclusive and not exclusive. You can click on Choose button and select the file types you wish to see in your search results.
