Description
We default search to null, but internally, WP_Comment_Query checks that it's an empty string. This generates a search query which looks like:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS sz_comments.comment_ID
FROM sz_comments
WHERE ( comment_approved = '1' )
AND comment_post_ID IN ( 85 )
AND comment_type IN ('')
AND (comment_author LIKE '%%'
OR comment_author_email LIKE '%%'
OR comment_author_url LIKE '%%'
OR comment_author_IP LIKE '%%'
OR comment_content LIKE '%%')
ORDER BY sz_comments.comment_date_gmt ASC, sz_comments.comment_ID ASC
LIMIT 10

Core needs to be patched to have a better check, but we should work around this in the meantime.
