Hey @mifopen, by chance, do you have the .env.local file .gitignored?

[mifopen]

@JosephTLyons yes, 100%

[mifopen]

And I see where it could come from. But I've been using JetBrains IDEs for a decade and believe that "having smth in .gitignore" doesn't equal "excluded from the global project search". It's a separate setting (you can mark directories/files as "excluded") in JB IDEs and it feels natural.

[JosephTLyons]

I think at the moment, that behavior is baked into zed on purpose, to prevent things like node_modules (and similar setups in other languages) from absolutely polluting the file finder results. That being said, we should probably consider some sort of setting here to give more flexibility into this:

Totally agree

[TwanLuttik]

I agree as well but maybe add a option in the setting to override it.
