Description
Hi! Is there any way to exclude specific path from search query?
I have a project with i18n/locales folder, and when I search for something, this files are 90% of what I see in results, because they are concentrated keywords. I could remove this files from index, however sometimes i need to search throughout them.
With --path parameter I could search in locales files only:
ccc search --path 'i18n/locales/**' 'something'
But is there a way I could exclude 'em from the search? This is not working:
ccc search --path '!i18n/locales/**' 'something'
I also tried to combine paths like that, it could possibly help, but it's not working too:
ccc search --path 'server/**:components/**:pages/**' 'something'
Will be glad for any help.

Research direction
Start with the ccc search entry point and its existing --path handling, including the examples using i18n/locales/** and multiple colon-separated paths. Define and implement the expected exclusion behavior, then verify that excluding a path removes it from default results while an explicit search of that path still works.
