How to stop Calibre from searching comments?

Under preferences > searching > columns that non prefixed searches are limited to, I've narrowed it to just: title, author.

However, if I type a given word into the search bar e.g. "eclipse", in addition to getting books whose title or auther contains "eclipse", I also receive all books whose comments contain "eclipse".

Unfortunately, this makes searching not that useful for me.

How can I make non prefixed searches ignore text in the comments?

Thanks

IIRC you need to check the Limit the searched metadata setting in Preferences->Searching ?

Ha oh my god, I did all the above, but just didn't check the 'limit' box.

Works perfectly now, thanks!
