[FX.php List] empty find requests

[Dale Bengston]

Hmm, I have a feeling it has to do with how FX.PHP is structuring the 
query. I recall that CDML would return no records if you submitted an 
empty search form.

When I have a minute, I'll turn off my JavaScript validation, submit a 
blank search form and write the resulting query to the page and see 
what it looks like.
