Option for Search to filter comments

[hilloinen]

Visual Studio Code is well aware when some text is inside a comment since it displays such text with a different color - at least with common programming languages.

It would be great if the the search had an option button similar to "Match Case" and "Match Whole Word" buttons that could be used to filter out matches found in comments. I suggest three modes for such button: 1) inactive/include all (it would function like search now), 2) exclude comments, and 3) include only comments.
