Site search problem

Hi,

I have a search facility on a website which works fine, apart from when someone searches it lists pages that aren't relevant, because it also picks up words from the navbars. Is there anyway to get around this problem. The only one I can think of is the ability to either exclude certain words from the search results or make it so the search only searches a particular part of each page, e.g. a table which the main content is in. But I would have no idea how to implement these.

Any thoughts??

Cheers
 
easiest solution i could think of is make the nav bars includes, that way the include doesn't have page content that's searchable.
