"Current directory" is kind of ambiguous. It's really the search path that is treated as the root, not the cwd.

hmmm, this is.... interesting.
It looks like if there are multiple search paths, then it use the first one for all:
❯ fd
a/
a/other
a/test/
b/
b/a
b/test/
test/
❯ fd --exclude '/test' --search-path a
a/other
❯ fd --exclude '/test' --search-path b
b/a
❯ fd --exclude '/test' --search-path b --search-path b
b/a
b/a
❯ fd --exclude '/test' --search-path b --search-path a
a/other
a/test/
b/a
❯ fd --exclude '/test' --search-path a --search-path b
a/other
b/a
b/test/
