Hello,

Thanks to everyone for the excellent help I have gotten so far. It's much appreciated!

On my drupal site I would like to exclude certain nodes types from being searched (i.e. not show up in search)
I would also like to exclude certain node types from the recent posts list
I have added custom CCK fields to the user profile (one of them is 'real name'). I would like these fields to be searchable so that someone can type in someone's real name and get to their profile page so that you don't have to remember their username.

If anyone has any answers to one (or all!) of the above I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks.

Sam
