3885	Ability to exclude files from search results when using shell patterns	esauloff		"It looks like MC does not support file patterns exclusion when searching by shell patterns.
No other ticket or enhancement found to address it as well.

For example if user wants to search for all files but *.a files, search criteria might look like:
{{{ *|*.a }}}

It is achievable partly with regex patterns but it is tricky to address it if files extensions are used both to include and exclude files, for example if user wants to search for {{{*.h*}}} files but exclude {{{*.hxx}}} files at the same time:
{{{ *.h*|*.hxx }}}

On Windows platform, FAR Manager supports such functionality using '|' symbol as delimiter in search field."	enhancement	new	major	Future Releases	mc-search	master		search exclude				no branch
