Description
Currently it's not possible to search for all unsafe functions in a crate, it would be nice to be able to do so.
I think the only modifiers to support are const, async, extern and unsafe ?

Research direction
Start by locating rustdoc's search implementation and the existing function search behavior. Determine how searches could distinguish const, async, extern, and unsafe functions, then verify that each supported modifier returns the expected functions without changing unrelated search results.
