Comment:

 please when this trivial needs patch will be solved?

 Imho it is bug, search should definitely put you on search page even when
 you search nothing. So we would be easily able to create separate search
 page (in many countries it is a must-have accesibility rule when creating
 webs e.g. for public administration)

 P.S.: if i would consider this as an enhancement, it would be to have an
 option to give it some sexy url, but this could be solved by something
 like

 {{{
 add_action('template_redirect', 'nice_search');
 function nice_search() {
     if (is_search()) {
         $search_uri = get_bloginfo('url') .'/search/'.
 urlencode(get_query_var('s')) . ((get_query_var('paged')) ? '/page/'.
 get_query_var('paged') .'/' : '/');
         if (!empty($_GET['s']) || !empty($_GET['paged']))
             wp_redirect($search_uri);
     }
 }
 }}}
