How to Exclude indexing menu in Google Custom Search


Hi I am using Google Custom Search for searching content in my website.

However when searching a word, google can't exclude the menu from the page, for example http://www.innosia.com/Home/ArticleSearch?q=efore&sitesearch=innosia.com

If you see efore, every page will show up because each page contains a link to Efore page. How do I tell Google to exclude the link area (left and right menu) and only index the title and content area?
