Google site search: set to not search nav?

I am using google search which I have acquired an API where I can submit a request and returns me XML with search results from my site.

This works well, but I want to know if there is a way to limit it NOT to search in my global page navigation. For example, if someone is looking for a brand and the brand name is in my global navigation, search results will return every page on my site.

My nav with a div element with id 'css_dropdown_menu' I was wondering if there is a way to tell the engine to ignore anything on this element? Somebody knows?

As far as I know, Google doesn't offer a way to exclude certain sections from search indexing. It is very good to understand which pieces of content are repeated on many pages and smooth out those sections.

I don’t know of any “really good” solution, but perhaps (not sure how realistically possible) you might find yourself being searched for for site search purposes (as opposed to "regular google search spidering") and serve the page differently (excluding the part you don't want to be indexed) when a site's spider search occurs (as opposed to regular visits and "regular searches" spidering).
