The exclusion list is in
	Workspace Appearance & Behaviour
		Desktop Search

There seems to be a policy of "search everything {*} except what is

The {*} might be "under ${HOME} but I'm not sure.

There is also

	Desktop Search Advanced

which does have an "include" as well a file name/suffix filter and MIME
filter
