If I was looking for fraudulent documents, for example, and claimed I found some extreme porn pics, it'd look awkward explaining to people why I was trawling through the suspect's porn stash when i should have been looking at documents.

As the warrant would no doubt allow a thorough searching of the entire property, and the stuff you mentioned would be contraband. Searching the entire house is part of 'looking for evidence of X', wherein finding evidence of Y is allowable.

But I guess an example would be a copper raiding a house looking for stolen TVs but finds a bag of cocaine stuffed in the toilet cistern. You could argue why he was looking for a TV in the loo.
