[BUG] Search Cannot Filter by File Type or Path Pattern

[olddev94]

Project

vgrep

Description

The search functionality only supports filtering by path prefix. Users cannot:

• Filter by file extension (e.g., only .rs files)
• Use glob patterns (e.g., **/test*.py)
• Exclude paths (e.g., exclude node_modules)
• Filter by file type category (e.g., "code", "config", "docs")

Error Message

None - missing feature.

Steps to Reproduce

# Want to search only in Rust files - not possible
vgrep "error handling" --ext rs      # No --ext option
vgrep "error handling" --glob "*.rs" # No --glob option
vgrep "error handling" --exclude "test*" # No --exclude option

Expected Behavior

1. Filter by file extension: --ext rs,py,js
2. Include patterns: --include "*.rs"
3. Exclude patterns: --exclude "test/**,vendor/**"
4. File type categories: --type code (predefined groups)

Actual Behavior

1. Only path prefix filtering
2. No extension filtering
3. No pattern matching
4. No exclusions
