This makes users who are unfamiliar with SQL and Datasette think the canned query page is broken and is a frequent source of confusion.\r\n\r\nTo anyone dealing with this: My solution is to modify the canned query so that it returns no results which cues people to fill in the blank parameters.\r\n\r\nSo instead of `emails_fts match escape_fts(:search))`\r\n\r\nMy canned queries now look like this:\r\n\r\n`emails_fts match escape_fts(iif(:search==\"\", \"*\", :search))`\r\n\r\nThere are no asterisks in my data so the result is always blank.\r\n\r\nUltimately it would be nice to be able to handle this in the metadata.

Using _metadata_local in that way makes total sense -- I agree, refreshing metadata each cell was seeming quite excessive. Now I'm on the same page! :)\r\n\r\nAll good. Report back any issues you find with this stuff. Metadata/dynamic config hasn't been tested widely outside of what I've done AFAIK.
