If you do {{{ $query = new WP_Query('tag=foobar&year=2010'); }}} $query->query will be {{{tag=foobar&year=2010}}}. I think it would be more useful if $query->query will be an array in both cases. Currently, if you want to check that variable from a filter, you always have to call wp_parse_args() yourself: {{{ function my_posts_where($sql, $wp_query) { $wp_query->query = wp_parse_args($wp_query->query); if ( isset($wp_query->query['some-var'] ) // do something ... } add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_where'); }}} " enhancement new normal 3.1 Query normal has-patch commit
