This is a repost of an issue that no one has been able to reply, I do not know why?
Am I asking for an impasse?
Is is too hard for someone to even read or figure out what I want to say?

By default Drupal will show and even search each and every content type you enable in Drupal for eg. if you have enabled some of the core modules like Forums, Blog, Help, Poll etc. So, if you open the search page you will see checkboxes for all the nodes that are considered as searchable and interpreted by Drupal as content.

I've gone thru every setting of Drupal but I dont see anything that will disable searching and even displaying those nodes in search page. I've used a couple of community modules like for eg. the Quotes module, all I need this module is for displaying random quotes on the site but not for searching and it should not be displayed on the search page.

Im confused how to achieve this? If Drupal had a something like checkbox (Searchable / not Searchable) while creating a node just like some of the options that you see in the Publishing options then it would have been great.

There actually is a module called search_config which preconfigures a search criteria before a search query but I don't think it is compatible with drupal 6 yet! So, maybe you can have a look at it and similar modules.

You might try submitting a feature request against the Quotes module...

Is is too hard to type a couple of terms into the "Search downloads" box?

A lot of "is there a module for x?" questions get ignored because it demonstrates complete lack of effort on the part of the poster-- you can enter some search terms into the "Search downloads" box as easy as anyone else can. why should anyone in the forums do for you what you are willing to do for yourself?

Now if you had said, "I searched for a module that does x and I found modules a, b, and c-- what's the difference" you would have stood a better chance of getting a response.
