Really? I'm not sure. You might want to set them and forget about them.

The problem is exactly if you forget about them. You may have your search filtered with conditions written days before for other searchs.

If the checkbox is unchecked the generic user expectation is to have the "Extended Parameters" disabled. This is that a checkbox usually means. Enable or disable. If the conditions are meant to be always active, probably a tab sheet is a more correct dialog control, or at least the checkbox text should be changed in "Show Extended Parameters".

Anyway, it should be clear at the user when there are hidden search filters active.

Parameters are ignored now when they're hidden, so I'm closing :)
