One of the reasons I talked our company into buying a professional license was to have the Search engine. And then I just realized that DNN themselves aren't even using it on their site?  What's the deal there?  Did we waste our money?

My biggest problem is that it's indexing all the text on the page, including menus and footers and useless stuff like that.  So if I search for Quality (and I happen to have a page called Quality Assurance), then EVERY PAGE in the site comes up because the menu is on every page.  Well this is completely useless, don't you think?  I looked around and there is no config to ignore menus or any other info on how to get menus or other stuff to be left out of the search.  There is some third party DNN search control that supports HTML comment blocks to ignore stuff.

So should I not even bother trying to get the DNN Search thing working, standard or Pro? Maybe I should just use Google Custom Search instead like DotNetNuke.com does?  Advice?
