Not sure how to cleanly handle this, but I think when the "matching" field explicitly asks for an extension (eg *.xib), that should overwrite "excludeInFolderSearch".

Or maybe there could be a checkbox, or a magical prefix in "matching" that disables "excludeInFolderSearch" for the search in question.

The exclude patterns do generally make sense to respect even when there also is a glob (other than *) — the “Include Hidden Files” in the file browser effectively is disabling the exclude patterns, which would make sense to also have in the Folder Search and should solve the problem.
