Description

According to the documentation, the indexer is only for the default branch. I would like to request two items:

If I have lots of sub-folders, when I initiate a search from one of these sub-directories, only search that directory (but recursively)
Add an [indexer] option to include indexing all branches in repos as opposed to just the default branch

Screenshots

N/A

Additional

Possibly a bug but I like to think of it as not implemented yet, but I will ask the question: what happens if I change the default branch? Does the indexer pick up that change automatically, or do I need to do something new/different?
