Feature Request: Include instead of Exclude #48

Closed heartcomputers closed 6 years ago

Been playing around with ANGRYsearch, loving it so far and glad to see some development on a tool like this so thank you!

I read over the documentation and couldn't find where or how to specify which directories to index. Exclude is an option, but not include? So maybe this is a support request or a feature request.

it goes from root, so everything possible to crawl is included(that btw means network shares as I recently noticed with 30 indexing of windows PC shared drive), except hardcoded /proc exception, where running processes are Just exclude is needed to get any desirable effect. Though I guess it would be easier to restrict stuff to just home or specific mount, its still possible if you just write out those exceptions, I am not planning on adding include, sorry.
