RubyMine to ignore some files when going to file

Question

When going to file (Go To => File, ⇧⌘N on Mac OS X), is there a way to have RubyMine ignore some directories? We have a lot of third party code in vendor which I'd rather ignore.

File | Settings | Project Structure, select directory on the right and press Excluded button on top:

Slight hitch with this solution; excluded folders are no longer indexed by RM. The ideal scenario is if I wish to exclude my vendor/gems folder only for searching(as I rarely search it). – Nazar Jan 18 '12 at 14:58
In v5.4, you can right click the folder and choose 'Mark Directory As | Excluded'. This won't force the current indexing to stop. You have to select 'File | Invalidate Caches...' to finally get it to stop. – spyle Jan 16 '14 at 15:27

The quicker way:

Right-click on a folder in your project tree and click “Mark Directory As” → “Excluded”.
