 Hi

 I'd like to install the WP search box on a custom post type archive page
 and have it only return results from this custom post type.

 Is there any way in the future WordPress could allow you to add a
 parameter to the get_search_form() function (or create a similar function)
 that would allow this?

 An example being, if I had a custom post type called jobs, when I add the
 WP search box on the jobs archive page I could add 'jobs' as a parameter
 so it only returned matches from the jobs post type i.e.
 get_search_form('jobs')

 This would be so awesome.
