 Regardless, I don't think we can change the meaning of 'any' at this
 point. We probably need a way to ask for all public types and all types.

 I think it's really common to have a post type you DON'T want in searches
 but you DO want taxonomy pages for.  Maybe in query.php where we check `if
 ($this->is_tax)` and set `$post_type = 'any';` we could instead set it to
 whatever post types the taxonomies support?  Or possibly set it to 'all'
 and add another condition that uses `get_post_types()` instead of
 `get_post_types( array('exclude_from_search' => false) );`
