Comment:

 This would introduce a glaring inconsistency: all other empty query vars
 are ignored, while 's' gets special treatment. That's not a good idea,
 from an API point of view.

 Also, by your definition of search, when you're going to /category/foo/
 you're also doing a search, which is plainly wrong, in the WP universe.

 For these reasons, I'm closing this ticket as wontfix.

 Feel free to leave follow-up comments (without opening the ticket).
