Description

Similar to the other bug I just reported.

When in the query is: 'name' => I'm getting results.

Mind you, in the DB, 'name' should never be . Therefore such a query should return nothing. It doesn't' return nothing ;)

p.s. If there a reason why WP_Query() isn't in the component select below?

post_name can be empty, and in fact is empty, in the case of post drafts. For this reason, I think the back-compat concerns are greater in this case than in the case of 0, which can never be a valid post ID.

It's "Query".
