Open Directory search appends "undefined" #1

If you don't select a filetype when running an OD search (if you leave the placeholder value set), "undefined" is appended to the end of the search query. image image

Oh, good catch! What do you think should be the default? Or should it pop up an error?

Nielsen Norman recommends "Any" as the default:

Because dropdown lists hide the other available options, they work well to downplay alternatives and underemphasize the ability to make changes. (This is advantageous in cases where the default will satisfy most users and where the alternative options may be dangerous or confusing to nonexpert users.)
