I want to allow developers to implement filtering by a certain node type in the search results. It looks like this is easy to do by simply passing along an appended " type:NODE_TYPE" string to the search keys/string when it is being sent to the server by JS. This approach woudl allow develoeprs to override the inline_ajax_search-theme-form.tpl.php to include whatever node type filter they want by simply adding an INPUT element (type="hidden").

You could possibly take this a step farther and change it to allowing ANY arbitrary filter string to be appended (from the value of the hidden INPUT elem).

This looks great. This patch only has the JS in it. The hidden form field also has to be added in the form itself. Could you provide with a patch for that as well?
