Description

When calling the search URL with no query or an empty query (i.e. http://localhost:8080/solr/select/ or http://localhost:8080/solr/select/?q=), Solr throws a NullPointerException. The value for the query string returned by the SolrParams object is null, but QueryComponent tries to process it.

I encountered this bug because of a bug in my application calling the search URL, but arguably the response should be more constructive.
