Way to have FARR only scan (1) files in My Docs and (2) start menu apps?

Is there a way to configure FARR to only provide (1) files in My Docs and (2) start menu apps in its results?
I already have Google Desktop Search for documents and am quite happy with it.
FARR is blazing fast but I hate having to pick through files that I don't want to open up.
tomos:
in options >> Search folders - just select these two

Appreciate your quick response, but it didn't work. I uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled but obviously the database didn't get removed, because even though I unchecked every option but the two you highlighted, the same problem remained--a search for a folder returned many files that had similar names.
How can I remove all traces of this program, and then reinstall? Or better, simply to have FARR reindex? I'm sure there is a button that allows this, but I did look through each of the options windows and didn't see a way.
ewemoa:
Sorry that I don't have a solution for your problem, but for reference, IIUC, FARR doesn't index -- I think there may be some plugins that one can install later that do, e.g.

I don't know how you've installed your FARR (I use mine in a portable set up so (I think) everything FARR-related lives in or under the directory that contains the FindAndRunRobot.exe), but perhaps the ConfigDir.ini file which lives in the same directory as FindAndRunRobot.exe may give some hints about removal as it seems to contain some information regarding where files get stored.
May be other folks have some better ideas or suggestions.
d4ni:
tomos' solution should work. As ewemoa already points out, FARR does not use an index or 'database' as you call it. It does, however, by default adds launched items to a launchhistory, which can be cleared from the options.
