No, you are completely correct. Don't use s:validate/s:validateAll in your search form, and don't try to persist the entity you are using to hold your search data and it won't be validated.

And yes, I found I normally had to do

@Name("exampleFoo")
  | public class ExampleFoo extends Foo {
  | 
  |    private Date startOfDateRange;
  |    private Date endOfDateRange;
  |    ...
  | 

when using example entities for searching - you get both the fields from the entities for basic fields and can add extras.

I want to get a tutorial into the docs at some point - "Working with your seam-gen'd app" which should include stuff like this.
