For me, just to add to the answer, the scope !file:*intermediates*/&&!file:*generated*/&&!file:*build*/&&!lib:*..* worked even better!

I've seen this in IntelliJ, haven't checked in Android Studio. But when you do find in path (via ctrl+shift+F) there's a "File name filter" section in the search popup which has a checkbox called "File masks" which you might be able to filter desired file types.
