ack

My folder structure looks like this:

/app
/app/data
...
/app/secondary
/app/secondary/data

I want to recursively search /app, including /app/data. I do not want to search /app/secondary/data however. This what I have so far:

ack --ignore-dir=data searchtext
ack --ignore-dir=secondary/data searchtext

The first command is ignoring both directories and the second one is ignoring neither of them. From within the app folder, what should my ack command look like?
