This was debated in great length. We don't need to follow the prototype to the letter, when it does not make sense, and this was one of the cases. Assuming you talk about the header search form. If you can select multiple elements, you should be able to select multiple elements on the faceted search links (which are displayed as arrows in the sidebar). However, there is no concept there to select multiple elements, and this is clearly reflected in the individual search page mockup. So technically it is not possible to match those checkboxes to other UI concepts on the search page. This was discussed in detail by Damien and others in Paris and was discussed with Mark Boulton in DC. So not at all sure, you are going into the right direction.

This issue is specifically for the header search form. I'm not sure who made the decision, but the search output was changed from radios to checkboxes, and then lost the style since the classes no longer matched what was being styled in styles.css - so this issue was to update styles.css to match the output.

I'll try to find out who was involved in the discussion/decision to make the change at the sprint this week and point them to this issue.

I have updated styles.css to change form-checkboxes back to form-radios. There still needs to be an update to the drupalorg_search.module to undo the update that was made to change the output to checkboxes.
