[gnome-contacts/gnome-3-8] Don't search for "empty" strings

[Erick Pérez Castellanos <erickpc src gnome org>]

    Don't search for "empty" strings
    
    The contact list is only filtered if the search query is not "empty",
    i.e., contains at least one non-space character. This prevents returning
    a list of all the contacts.
