Why won’t Buddypress search posts?

In the header search area, I only have options to search members, groups, etc. I actually need the opposite; I only want to search *posts* on the main blog and return those results, with no options to search anything else. How can I do this?

I think these have a filter. Are we talking about the search box at the top of the templates, in the blue header area?

Yes, Paul, that’s the one.

I was able to get what I needed by copying a search form from wordpress (it only searches posts and pages), and then activating a plugin which prevents pages from being searched so that only the posts are searched.

Zen, I will also try your form and see which result works better for me. Thanks for that.
