Thank you for answer.
I did use "Show Source in Catalog" and I see parent folder that add this
"unwanted" folder ("donotindex").
Problem with solution (2.) to "open Contents tab and uncheck individual
items" is that it wont work (I try it)!
I can not just uncheck "donotindex" folder from Contents tab.
If I uncheck "donotindex" folder in Contents tab, Quicksilver will still
find items _inside_ "donotindex" folder!
For this solution to work I should probably uncheck all files inside folder
"donotindex" in Contents tab manualy... which is IMPOSSIBLE (I will add new
files and folders inside "donotindex" folder as time pass, so I can not
always uncheck all these new files in Contents tab)! :)
Is it possible to remove one folder, and all its subfiles and its
subfolders, somehow?
Or maybe I can somehow re-index Catalog after uncheking "donotindex" folder?
Thanks once again! :)
