+#### Manual Workaround
+
+We have seen the above solution not being applied by IntelliJ. The exact reason is not clear to us but as a workaround, you can:
+1. Open `.gitignore` in your IntelliJ
+2. There will be a banner saying `Some of the ignored directories are not excluded from indexing and search`. Click on `View Directories`
+3. A tree with all the git ignored files should be displayed. You can exclude them from IntelliJ by clicking `Exclude`
