Skip option for menu

[1Candyman1]

Is there a way to have to indexer skip sections on the page? Specifically, a menu? I have css menu, so it's text based, and when i do a search for a term that shows up in the menu, it results in a find on every page even if the page doesn't even mention that item. I know about the skip list, but that's only for words/pages. Do i have to list each word in my menu there? Or can I say skip <div class="menu"> or <ul id="menu"> which would create my menu, and have it skip that section?

Q. How do I prevent parts of my webpage from being indexed (eg. exclude navigation menus, or page footers)?

Thanks!

I had used the <!--ZOOMSTOPFOLLOW-->, but that was still being indexed which lead me here. This code works great!


<p>This text will be indexed</p>
<!--ZOOMSTOP-->
<p>This section is skipped and no indexing will occur.</p>
Navigation menus, header, footer, etc. may appear here.
<!--ZOOMRESTART-->
<p>Indexing starts again here</p>

Yes, ZOOMSTOPFOLLOW and ZOOMRESTARTFOLLOW only excludes links from being crawled or followed by Zoom in Spider Mode. ZOOMSTOP and ZOOMRESTART is what you should use to exclude text from being indexed.
