Create multiple Search functions for posts / custom post types and everything

you can change your search filter to this:

function SearchFilter($query) {
$post_type = $_GET['post_type'];
if (!$post_type) {
    $post_type="any";
}
if ($query->is_search) {
    $query->set('post_type', $post_type);
};
return $query;
}  

add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');

then on your news search form add :

<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="post" />

on your custom post type listing search form add

<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="customtypename" />

and on the entire site search for don’t add anything
an you are set.
