Disable searching of pages?

Any ideas?

I am having this problem too, but can’t find any solution.

Okay, I’ve figured it out. In search.php, before The Loop, i.e. before the call to have_posts(), you add the following:

<?php $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=post'); ?>

This will restrict the “posts” returned to only those that are actually posts.

How is this not a toggle in the admin?

people begged for years to have pages searchable, now that they are, everyone’s complaining ??

personally I think you should be able to restrict the search to a category/post type/etc as part of the search form itself.

edit | $q[‘post_type’] = ‘any’;
change | $q[‘post_type’] = ‘post’;
