I respectfully disagree; I think 'If --set is specified, the first
device found is set to a variable. If no variable name is specified,
root is used.' is sufficiently clear.
However, rather than using precious bytes on more carefully explanatory
documentation here, the 'search' command should be
Colin Watson and my suspicions about search behavior is right:
search does NOT change variable root if the device was not found.
But there is a lack of clear wordings of that fact in
grub help search
text.
So, I changed this bug to NEW again, hoping documentation strings will get
clearer
No, this is quite deliberate; it's a safety fallback in case UUID search
doesn't work, so I'm not going to remove it. 'help search' at the GRUB
command line documents the behaviour quite clearly, I think.

I wrote this bug, because there isn't any clear spezification what search
really does!
If there is this undocumented feature I thought about:
search should not touch the root if it does NOT find anything!
Then set root is valuable.
If it does touch (root=NULL)
then set root should be commented
