Add an option in the Find Text tool of the Script Menu to filter out comments

I use the Find Text tool in the script editor very often, but a lot of the times the tool will highlight keywords that are parts of comments when I don’t want it to. In my code, I often comment out old code that I might use again or write comments containing keywords that are written the same way as my variables or roblox properties; so having the find text feature highlight a bunch of stuff in my comments when I am searching for a specific line in my code can be very inconvenient.

Currently, the Find Text feature has the following options: Match Case, Match Whole Word, and Regular Expression. My proposal would add a fourth button on that same menu called “Ignore Comments” which would do exactly that.

Something like this would be really beneficial for the cross-game search (CTRL+SHIFT+F). Good request.

The ability to ignore comments in the find tool would be useful for ignoring results that are not relevant
