We've talked about this earlier too,
but projects with big binary files (without extensions, if that matters) seem to get searched even though they are big binaries.
It can be a 10MB+ file that it tries to find stuff in. Sometimes If the machine is really low on ram, I can get an alert in Mate telling me that we're low on ram and that big file cant be opened.
A setting where one could choose to skip searching files > x megs!?
Tried BBEdit, Xcode and searched the same project and they didn't look in that specific file. I know that deciding if the file is text or binary would be tricky, I mean we could have a 100MB+ postscript file, but would be interesting to know what differs betw say TM and xCode here.
