9230	Option to search for posts, pages or both	jidm	anonymous	"Hi.

I seriously believe that there should be an option to choose between search on 'any' or 'post'. This could be set from the admin panel.

In some projects i don't need/want to searh on pages, so i have to manually change 'any' for 'post' on wp-includes/query.php:

	if ( !isset($q['post_type']) ) {
			if ( $this->is_search )
				$q['post_type'] = 'any';
			else
				$q['post_type'] = 'post';

I think this can't be hard to implement (an option in the backend, a row in wp_options [maybe wp_blogs in case of wpmu] and a modification on the code above to ask for that option).

Please consider implementing this.
Thanks!
