If you search for something that does not exist (for example, searching for erratum 'asdfasdf' without field specified), two search queries are performed. The first query is to get a count for pagination, but even if the count is zero, the second query is still performed. In some cases, these queries can take 3+ seconds, so running it once instead of twice can make the page much snappier.

To repro, sync some RH repos and then do the following:

<pre>
time curl -sk 'https://admin:changeme@localhost/katello/api/v2/errata?organization_id=3&search=sadfasdf' > /dev/null
</pre>

If you enable slow query logging in postgres (log_min_duration_statement = 500 will do it), you'll see two queries:
