You can use Vim's |'wildignore'| to exclude files and directories from the
results.
Examples: >
" Excluding version control directories
set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/* " Linux/MacOSX
set wildignore+=*\\.git\\*,*\\.hg\\*,*\\.svn\\* " Windows ('noshellslash')
or any command supplied w/ last bit of previous output

Was flirting with the idea of trying out emacs and reading the wiki. Found this funny section:
The Church of Emacs, formed by Richard Stallman, is a parody religion created for Emacs users.[49] While it refers to vi as the editor of the beast (vi-vi-vi being 6-6-6 in Roman numerals), it does not oppose the use of vi; rather, it calls it proprietary software anathema. ("Using a free version of vi is not a sin but a penance."[50])

Definitions
UNBOUND - this key is not normally bound to any vi command
word - a lower-case word ("w", "b", "e" commands) is defined by a consecutive string of letters, numbers, or underscore, or a consecutive string of characters that is not any of {letters, numbers, underscore, whitespace}
Word - an upper-case word ("W", "B", "E" commands) is a consecutive sequence of non-whitespace.
sentence
paragraph
cursor motion command - any command which positions the cursor is ok here, including the use of numeric prefixes. In addition, a repeat of the edit command usually means to apply to the entire current line. For example, "<<" means shift current line left; "cc" means replace entire current line; and "dd" means delete entire current line.
