[wp-hackers] Excluding pages/posts from search

[Alex King]

Exactly, this gives all plugins and enhancements that *should* deal  
with this sort of data a structured way to do so instead of each  
rolling their own, or requiring a JOIN to the post_meta table or  
separate query.

Now we just need to hear from the core team if they'd consider  
including such a feature... :)

Cheers,
