Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I am working with a Rust project on a remote machine and it takes a lot of time to find anything in search. My search query is plain text, with no special query params.

I was able to confirm that if I manually exclude some files then the search becomes fast again. My excludes include:

1. benchtop/target/**,
2. benchtop/private/**,
3. benchtop/perf.data

If I remove from the excludelist any of those it becomes slow again.

The benchtop/private/** has a directory that I manually add into .git/info/excludes and where I keep ELFs of that benchtop project and some perf.data files (the perf data is in gigabytes).

Can you run a dev version of Zed? If so, give #23581 a go - it should land on Preview next Wednesday and most likely allow us to skip most of the binary files that we're scanning redundantly in your project.

oh, I built the latest master but it seems it is not that simple, due to

ZED_BUILD_REMOTE_SERVER is not set and no remote server exists at (".zed_server/zed-remote-server-dev-build")

I'll give it another shot next afternoon.
