[VinceG]

Bug: What is the current behavior?

empty search string performs a search operation.

Bug: What is the expected behavior?

if the search term is empty do not perform a search string

Bug: What browsers are impacted? Which versions?

All browsers.

Bug: What is the proposed solution?

if the string is empty do not run a search

We have thousands of searches for an empty string.

This is in fact on purpose to warm up the connection to have a faster second request. You also don’t get charged for search operations, so this shouldn’t really be an issue for you in that regard.

Is this a blocking issue for you?

By the way, I’m in LA for the weekend, if you want to talk about it or give your experiences otherwise :)

@Haroenv it's not blocking, i was just curious as to why it'll run an empty search. I don't mind as long as we don't get charged for it.

You should've came to our office, i'd love to give you a tour and show how we use algolia and the what the road map is.
