You have an issue here. You're looping through $_GET and attempting to 
set a default value (which is good), but you're not making any changes 
to $_GET at all, just resetting the same $value variable to '%'.

foreach($_GET as $key=$value)
{
  if(empty($value))
  { $_GET[$key] = '%'; }
}

Or, if I've been paying attention properly (which I might easily not have!
;), in PHP 5 you can do:

   foreach ($_GET as $value) {
  if (empty($value)) $value = %;
   }

Cheers!
