Ah, sorry, didn't explain fully. I did a StructKeyExists and a Len to make sure that the field you are going to evaluate really exists in the form. If it doesn't, you don't want your cfquery to throw a gnarly error (most likely) so if the assertion is false, the WHERE clause becomes WHERE 1 = 0 which is always false so the query completes and returns 0 records. Alternatively, you could wrap your query in a try/catch and catch any db errors and display them back to the user telling them that they forgot to put in a field to search on.
