search indexing on this site is a little screwy

Just a quick note to the webmasters of this "developerforce" site: while the search feature has gotten a lot better over the last few years, it's still quite difficult to find what you want using the built-in search, and I often get better results using google to search your site.

 

One thing I just noticed: your indexing routine for Ideas and board postings seems to be indexing the entire UI of the site, not just the content of the idea or post!  For example, here's a search I just did:

 

http://screencast.com/t/Jmz1Ryuss2ds

 

The yellow boxes are from navigation elements like the menus at the top, not from any content particular to the postings/ideas!   In this case it makes it much more difficult to find stuff that's actually relevant, because "partner" is a very important element of what I'm looking for (since it's about the partner portal), but due to this indexing it thinks every forum post contains that word.
