Ignore image urls in wp_query search

Question

I'm doing a keyword search using wp_query as so:

$wp_query = new WP_Query( 's=' . $_GET['s'] );

It is returning a post that has $_GET['s'] in one of its image URLs, and I don't want this to happen. I'd like to exclude any attachment URL from the search.

Is this possible using the wp_query arguments? Maybe a way to only search the title/body of a post?

You just need to add post_type argument like this:

$wp_query = new WP_Query( array(
    's'         => $_GET['s'],
    'post_type' => array( 'post', /* add more post types if need be */ ),
) );

Read the codex article about WP_Query class for more information.
