Possible API bug, not searching correctly

If for example you incorrectly sent an invalid search string

like

BADQUERY,something:status,NEW

It will return everything with the status of NEW. What I expect it to  return would be nothing since the query is invalid. i.e. if I was using a  select statement it would just error out instead of returning data. I  consider this fairly dangerous behavior.
