VS Code - Search for text in all only c++ (.cpp) and header (.h) files in a directory

Is there a way to search for a text in only CPP and header files in a directory using VS Code?

I.e., if I press "Ctrl+Shift+F" and search for a text, it will search in all the files including README and other files also in the current directory and return the files that matched. Basically I want to search for a text only in C++ (.cpp) and header (.h) files.

There is a similar question - "VS Code - Search for text in all files in a directory". It does not help because it will search in all files ignoring the extension of the files.

You can open the file filter with the ellipsis, and seperate file extensions to filter with a comma:

This will search only .cpp and .h files.
