How Eclipse file search does not include Subversion directories?

Last week I have got a new laptop and switched from the > Eclipse Ganymede release to the current > Eclipse Helios release. Further, I have re-installed all workspaces. After that, each file search included the > Subversion .svn directories. On > Stack Overflow I found a solution for that problem: In Eclipse you can select “Project -> Properties” and then “Resource -> Resource Filters” and add a new filter with the option “Exclude all”, type “Folder” with name “.svn”. Then the file search will not include the .svn directories.
