Would it be possible to prevent search in given folders

Would it be possible to prevent search in given folders such as .git, .mypy_cache/

For example I don't want to see find files under .mypy_cache, if possible.

I have tried:

(defun my-setup-develop-environment ()
  (interactive)
  (add-to-list 'ffip-prune-patterns "*/.mypy_cache"))

but it did not help :(

It works on my computer.

Please note ffip-prune-patterns is buffer local variable. You need run this command in the same buffer where youl trigger ffip command.

Or you can set ffip-prune-patterns in major mode hook.

Or check README to how to set up it in .dir-locals.el

Or just (setq-default ffip-prune-patterns (add-to-list 'ffip-prune-patterns "*/.mypy_cache")) in your ~/.emacs. See https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Default-Value.html

For (setq-default ffip-prune-patterns (add-to-list 'ffip-prune-patterns "*/.mypy_cache")) , I am getting following error message is it normal:
