One way to exclude pages from search results is to install the Simply-Exclude plugin. Another solution I found to work pretty well is to add a filter in functions.php to only include posts categories instead of excluding pages from search results:
// Remove pages from search function mySearchPostsFilter($query) { if ($query->is_search) { $query->set('cat','12,14,16,17,18'); // your category IDs } return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts','mySearchPostsFilter'); |
That’s all! Replace the posts category IDs (‘12,14,16,17,18′) by your owns and it should work.

Well, this post explains how to exclude categories. To exclude posts, once I came across a plugin but I don’t remember its name.
Have you tried to search the Wordpress plugin directory?
Otherwise, ask on their forum. Someone might answer you. you can also search on Lorelle’s site. He always tells about the latest plugins.

Instead of including categories you can also specify a post type. This example includes only posts and excludes pages:
$query->set(‘post_type’, ‘post’);
