1…I going exclude some folder, but I found the exclude filter seem does not work.
f.g: I wanng exclude the “c:\abc” folder, I have add the exclude filter “*\abc*”, “abc”, “c:\abc*”, "c:\abc", but the files in the abc folder will still in the search result.
then I use “exclude a driver or folder” button add “c:\abc” into the list, it’s work
2…the item added by “exclude a driver or folder” and “add an exclude filter” in the list looks same, I think they should be make a distinction if they are
3…“exclude a driver or folder” button can’t show the hidden folders in the tree, so i used to clean the hiden attrib of the folder, I think it’s inconvenient

think you!
and soryy for my english, hope you could understand
This is by design. Exclude filters are only applied to file/folder names (the last part of a path) instead of full paths (i.e. if a file/folder name matches a filter, it won’t be shown in search results).
“Exclude a drive or folder” entries are always full paths start with drive letters like “C:\Windows”, and “Add an exclude filter” entries aren’t.
so it means, I can’t use one filter entey (such as *\abc*) to block all files that path contain “abc”, but I must add all of the path (such as c:\abc, d:\abc\ddd, e:\xx\abc), right ?

Yes.
I wish it can be in the future.
Unfortunately I can’t change this at the moment because it will reduce disk search performance.
