 xprofile_filter_link_profile_data() auto-links xprofile field data to the
 search. It's hardcoded to not link date fields. It's not filtered, so you
 can't add more exclusions.

 At the very least, a filter should be added to the short circuit mechanism
 for 2.4, and if anyone wants to spend more time on it, we should consider
 adding a property to the field type class that controls this behaviour.

 Pretty sure we have at least a couple of tickets about how fun this auto-
 linking behaviour is, so maybe this is a duplicate if we can find it
 again.
