    Excluding "Created By" and "Modified By" columns while searching site

    Hi Everybody,

     I have configured Search in MOSS to search based on Content Types. Everything works fine, but when someone searches with user's login name, it returns all the list items created by or modified by that particular user. I want to EXCLUDE  these columns while performing search. First I tried by unchecking the box "Include values for this property in the search index" in the crawled property mappings available in the Search Settings but it not solving the issue. Still it searched created by and modified by columns.

    As the interface, I am using CoreResults webpart with customized XSL. Please let meknow how can I solve the issue.

    Also the requirement is not to make any farm level modifications. In this situation I am thinking of writing my own custom search interface by making use of search API.

    Update:
    I have seen the following post which says that it is not possible to exclude "Author" and "title" fields like this.
