The exclude pattern should only be used for stuff you actually want to exclude.

Which files to search is mainly guided by the glob in the Find dialog — you should probably edit that to *.{txt,text,…} or similar (it is kept per project folder).

This has been changed to a glob, so it should be:

    binary = "${myBinaryFiles}"

Though I think you should leave this at its default value.
