Description
Sometimes, it is neccessary that content of certain content types are not indexed at all.
Currently, it is impossible to disallow *ALL* roles to search content per (!) content type, as unselecting all roles allows ALL roles to search.
Quote of the help text in the web management UI: "If all checkboxes are unselected then everyone can search."

#1
Aforementioned is for both the 'search form' AND 'indexing'.
A module offering similar functionality: http://drupal.org/project/search_config
#2
As a workaround, create a new role that no one is assigned to. Then set that role to have search permissions for the content types you don't want people to see.
