Description

We can't do a search with an empty baseDN, when it's not specifically a rootDSE search (ie, (objectClass=*) and scope=OBJECT).

We should consider that such a search is spreaded on all the partitions.

This is not easy to implement without the nested partitions, as the current existing partitions are potentially stoed in different backends.
