No.  The logic here is that search criteria define a "subtractive
filter";  omitting to define any criteria thus creates a "pass-all"
filter.  This behavior is the "normal" way of processing ZCatalog
results;  you can, of course, skin the search method such that it
checks for the absence of query string / form variables and
short-circuits the test.

This is *not* intended behavior.  If you can repeat it reliably
against CMF 1.3b2, please file a collector issue with the "recipe"
at:

An ideal test case should be repeatable starting from a newly-created
CMF Site, which can make it a little tricky.
