Fixes an issue where the default post type that is set from an <input name="post_type"> field in the search form would be cleared if a new search term was entered.
Note that this is only true when the Post Type facet/filter is not in use. If the post type facet is enabled, it will be cleared as before. This is the expected behaviour for filters.
Closes #3868
