Exclude files with certain extensions while searching in IntelliJ IDEA using File maks

Question

In IntelliJ IDEA, is it possible to limit search to files that exclude a certain extension? For example, I want to search for VirtualService among all non-yaml files. Do I need a regex to achieve this?

Thank you for reading.

unfortunately this is not possible because there is no RegEx support.

In file path it is possible to exclude several file extensions, for example:

!*yml, !*yaml

This will exclude all .yml and .yaml file from search results.
