Comment 2 Marian Petras 2004-02-26 10:56:55 UTC 
Confirmed.

The problem appears only if the user tries to search for an empty
string. It should not be allowed. It will need a discussion with UI
engineers (should it be allowed to check the "Use This Criterion for
Search" check box if no string is specified?).
Comment 3 Jan Stola 2004-08-05 17:20:49 UTC 
The exception is no longer thrown => closing.
The rest is a general problem - see issue 46946.
Comment 4 Jaromir Uhrik 2004-08-16 16:33:43 UTC 
Verified.
