Comment (by coffee2code):

 @keesiemeijer: I liked your revised approach. The only change between your
 patch and what I committed is that I did not default any of the post type
 filter checkboxes on the search form on pages other than the main search
 page.

 I don't think it's reasonable to assume that if a visitor is looking at
 the docs for a specific function that if they use the slide-down search
 form that they necessarily are looking to search for just functions. Plus
 it's easy to overlook that the checkbox was automatically checked, making
 the search results not as comprehensive as expected.

 For the search page, of course, if a visitor checked any of the post type
 filters and were viewing the results of the search, those filters remain
 checked.
