            Bug ID: 504949
           Summary: Add checkbox "Exclude mountpoints" in searches
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kfind
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: nikolay_anzarov at abv.bg
  Target Milestone: ---

I often have to search my root "/" directory for files, but KFind goes off
searching in my /home (that is mounted separately) and my other storage drives
that are in "/run/media/..." which are huge and take a while to search through
(especially if content search is enabled), and only muddy my search results.

I have not found any way to specify exclusions from the search (please let me
know if there is some syntax or anything). A way to specify excluded
directories would be nice to have, but is not within the scope of this feature
request.

The solution I propose is to add a simple checkbox "Exclude mountpoints" that
would detect when a directory is mounted as its own drive (if it matches any of
the outputs from the command df-h for example?) and exclude searching in it.
Obviously it would be greyed out if "Include subfolders" is not checked.
