Empty search does not return descriptive message

Development

Thanks @sam

As it stands:

  • Empty search is a dead spot in the API
  • Search endpoint accepts a search term but also metadata arguments (user, categories, tags, etc.)
  • Metadata arguments are not documented in the API
  • Front-end validates the search correctly, but back-end API validates it partially (allowing empty search to go through)
  • Response message should be descriptive in any case

I hope this overview helps.
IMO this a bug. I’d be surprised if this is the intended behavior.
Thanks anyway :v:
