I have /.history/ and ./history/** and all other variations in files.exclude, search.exclude etc all settings but still in Cursor I see the .history files when I am searching for Symbol, but VS code does not have this issue
this is pretty annoying and stopping me from moving to Cursor full time
Here is the VS code using same settings
Apologies if this is slightly off topic, but have you seen the .cursorignore
feature?

I’m not sure if that will have an effect in the Command Palette, but it should have in terms of what the AI component is ignoring.
No i dont think this is the solution, i already have these in .cursorignore - but i think that file is for excluding from AI context and not from Symbol search
I think the bug is because Cursor is not using the exact same code as VSCode and during the changes made in Cursor code over VSCode some how the symbol search was messed up
