Improve search facility Open

Description

The search facility needs to be improved to easily allow restriction of the insource search without the resort to complicated regex, maybe addition of a simple keyword to the string for each case.

The two cases I am thinking about are to exclude searching in URLs from the search and to exclude parameters of templates from the search.

Another case would be to exclude file names.

Further would be a keyword to exclude categories.
