How to search in Sharepoint for terms only inside of documents in a doc library? (not the document properties)

I'm trying to perform a search in Sharepoint but only on the content that exists within the documents in a document library.  I do not want the search query to search the metadata or properties of the document or doc library.

How can I make the search only search within docs in my library?

Thanks!

the simple search option gives the result of both.
in case you don't wan't metadata i don't think it is possible unless u remove all metadata & run crawl & then check
Hi,
Please check this.
go to site collection/_Layouts/NoCrawlSettings.aspx
uncheck the metadata you don't want to be appear in search & run a crawl. enjoy!!!!!!!

Thanks for the feedback.  I failed to mention that other search queries still need to be able to search all the attributes of the doc library.  So, if I uncheck then it can't be searched in any search query.

Have any other ideas?
