 * keywords:  needs-patch => has-patch


Comment:

 Patch does the following:

 1) {{{WP_Query::is_search}}} is true if 's' query var exists (isset)

 2) The search query becomes {{{AND 0}}} if the term is empty so the SQL
 query will tank right away

 3) Ditches the comment join generation if the search term is empty

 Result: empty search terms go to the search page
