 * Hey,
 * thanks for reaching out! To be honest, I am not completely sure what you mean
   by “excluding the navigation from the search results”?
 * Looking forward to your reply,

 * I mean if you have an item in the main menu that matches the search I don’t really
   want that included in the search results page, or highlighted.
 * If you go here you will see what I mean:

 * Search term “menu”
 * Many thanks

 * Hey Neil,
 * thanks for getting back to me and I see what you mean…to exclude just the navigation–
   no. You can for example disable the highlight for titles which would stop highlighting
   the navigation menu but that would also stop highlighting the titles. If you 
   decide to give it a try, let me know.
 * All the best,
    Petra
