Rollup merge of rust-lang#131806 - lolbinarycat:rustdoc-search-all-is-func, r=notriddle

Treat other items as functions for the purpose of type-based search

specifically, constants and statics are nullary functions, and struct fields are unary functions.

+## Searching By Type Signature
 
 If you know more specifically what the function you want to look at does,
+or you want to know how to get from one type to another,
 Rustdoc can search by more than one type at once in the parameters and return
 value. Multiple parameters are separated by `,` commas, and the return value
 is written with after a `->` arrow.

+### Non-functions in type-based search
+Certain items that are not functions are treated as though they
+were a semantically equivelent function.
+
+For example, struct fields are treated as though they were getter methods.
+This means that a search for `CpuidResult -> u32` will show
+the `CpuidResult::eax` field in the results.
+
+Additionally, `const` and `static` items are treated as nullary functions,
+so `-> u32` will match `u32::MAX`.
+
 ### How type-based search works
 
 In a complex type-based search, Rustdoc always treats every item's name as literal.
