Hi Aaron,
Yes it is possible. The default state of the custom post type selectors is determined whether they are choosen on the General Options -> Sources panel.
For example, if you turn off the “Search in Posts” option on the General Options -> Sources panel and choose to display the “Search in posts” filter on the Frontend Search settings -> Custom post types panel, it will be unchecked by default.
