It would be nice to have an option to turn on if you want to be able to disable grants, activity types, custom field values, BUT still allow them to be searched on. Is this possible?

We have a large number of each of these and would find it helpful after a period of time to disable options for data entry from the option lists, but we have use cases for still needing to be able to search on them.

We've been able to get the desired result by changing the filter field manually for activity types, but have no clue about the long reaching effects of this. This seems pretty far reaching with the only workaround being "don't disable options."

this is not possible in the current code base / schema

basically u'll need another field in the schema, which says that "enable this option for search only". Its probably not too hard to implement, but i suspect it will involve a fair number of files / functions
