We use subversion so we have subfolders named _svn in our solution. Doing a Find in Files returns strings from these subfolders. Is there any way to tell Visual Studio to ignore these files?

To exclude a folder, go to File > Preferences, and search for file. exclude in the search settings. You can add the pattern of the folder you don't want Visual Studio Code to open.
Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions. Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process.
From "Find in Files", in "File Types" or "Look at these file types", you can use:
!*\ExcludeFolder\*
Example:
!*\bin\*;!*\obj\*;!*\.*;!*\ExcludeFolder\*

What you can do is to setup a set of folders that will be used for searching. In Find and Replace window, on the right hand side of "Look In" input you have a "Choose Search Folders" option where you can setup those sets of folders.
Just remember to turn off "Include sub folders" options if you have added root project folder.
If you don't have hundreds of folders this solution should work.
