Two things to note:
* a blank string is not going to do anything for filters, because you
can't add string attributes that are filterable.
* If you want all results, just don't have the particular filter or
condition:
ie:
Model.search :conditions => {:index => 'value'} # for a given value
Model.search # for all values
This way, you don't need enable_star set.
