Comment (by foxinni):

 This issue has come up in my development cycle too.

 I'm opting for [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11330#comment:7
 strop]'s solution but I've modified it to work for me, especially the need
 to put `is_home` to `false`.

 {{{
 function search_query_filter($query) {

    // If 's' request variable is set but empty
    if (isset($_GET['s']) && empty($_GET['s']) && $query->is_main_query()){
       $query->is_search = true;
       $query->is_home = false;
    }
    return $query;

 }
 add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'search_query_filter');
 }}}
