Search on empty string yields results not indexed in valid Collections.
With EE 2.7.2 and Low Search 3.1.4, I'm suddenly getting results from Channels not included in valid collections—only when searching for an empty string.
{exp:low_search:form
collection="products|product_groups"
search_mode="all"
result_page="search"
secure="no"
}
<input type="text" name="keywords" placeholder="I'm looking for...">
<button type="submit" class="button prefix"><i class="fi-magnifying-glass"></i></button>
{/exp:low_search:form}
Submitting a search for "" (admittedly silly, but easy mistake) lands on the results page with '/search/eyJyZXN1bHRfcGFnZSI6InNlYXJjaCJ9'.
And the results loop...
{exp:low_search:results query="{segment_2}" limit="50"}
{title}<br>
{/exp:low_search:results}
I spitting out the most recent entries related to Collection items via Playa. Only Products results should be shown per the Products collection, yet Product Materials entries (separate entries, related to Products but not part of the Collection) are being individually displayed in the results loop.
Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood something about Collections and results?

Since Low Search 3, all filter-related parameters aren't valid on the Form tag. Instead, set them as input field in the Form tag, or add them to the Results tag. http://gotolow.com/addons/low-search/...

Sorry I missed that note—makes plenty of sense. Thanks!
