I know exactly what you mean. Been there and done that.
There is a flag, can't remember the name, that is set if criteria is
entered.
It's something like SQLModified or some such.

If a quick look in the source doesn't manifest it for you, give me a hollar.
I'm moving to a new home this weekend so I'm just peeking in.
