Is this even really a bug? I mean, the button is meant to search for what you have typed in and if you have nothing typed in, it searches for nothing...

@AmazingMech2418 The behavior is confusing. One might thing that the icon needs to be clicked to search.

There are two awkward / confusing behaviors which both stem from not validating if any text has been entered into the text field prior to initiating the search.
When the search field contains no text and...
- ... clicking the search icon (magnifying glass) results in loading a search page with not results
- ... pressing the
Returnkey to initiate a search while the search field is focused results in loading a search page with not results
In both cases we should not initiate a search unless there is text in the field.
