It won't "ignore headers/footers," but if the pages are the same size & shape, the zoning template will do that..
I talked to AABBY technical support this morning. The guy put me on hold and asked his collegues. Then he said that I would need to touch each page to achieve the kind of zoning that I want: To automatically cut off the header/page number of every page in a novel, so that a series of words that began on page 4 and ended on page 5 could be searched as text and found as words in a single sentence. Do you think my misunderstanding was with him or with you? It's very important to me that I transform thousands of pages into searchable text without having to look at each page.

Hadn't previously seen Newegg. Thanks for that tip and the tip about "skipped pages" and "doublefeeds."
