title: How do I use 'wildignore' in Vim?
body: <p>I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out the syntax for  the <code>wildignore</code> setting in Vim.</p>
  
  <p>Suppose I want my file finder plugin (I use <a href="http://kien.github.com/ctrlp.vim/">Ctrlp</a>, which uses <code>wildignore</code>) to not search through hidden files and folders, that is, files and folders prefixed with a <code>.</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about doing that?</p>
