Exclude folders from indexing in Intellij maven project using wildcard

Is it possible to exclude folders from indexing using wildcard? In my project it is just impossible to mark all /target folders as excluded. There is just too much of them. That leads to freezes during project rebuild.

EDIT (thanks to @Arham)

Progress is tracked with those issues:

For simpler things, like ignoring all target folders in project you can use:

Settings|Editor|FileTypes|Ignore files and folders

I found a way to exclude files of certain extensions.

I have configured my project on Windows to be in sync with my Linux box.

I use sftp tool provided by IntellijIdea to sync files and folders .

To configure sftp deployment goto Tools-> Deployment -> Configuration

To exclude files goto Tools- > Deployment -> Options -> Exclude items by name

This helps me in excluding certain files from getting synced from my Linux box to windows.

I guess even if your structure is not same as mine, just create a dummy deployment configuration for your existing project and that should work.
