:Telescope live_grep is supposed to do that:

• Live search on files
• Filtering out the .gitignore

The telescope-live-grep-args provides:

• Live search on files (bringing result while searching)
• Passing arguments to the underlying rg and in particular the -g and -g! argument that allow filtering against file patterns.

For searching for file content I personally use the CtrlSF plugin that provides:

• Live search on files (bringing result while searching)
• Restricting on some file type

e.g.:

:CtrlSF -T py foo 

Search for foo in all the Python files.
