present?/presence always returns true

[tardate]

I'm using meta_search 1.1.3 and discovered that it seems I can't trust present?/presence with a meta_search collection - they always return true, regardless of whether the result set has rows or not.

User.where(id: 0).present?
=> false  
User.search(id_eq: 0).present?
=> true

I was a little surprised, as this is counter to what I would expect if I assume it has the same behaviour as with ActiveRelation. Is this by design, expected behaviour, or something that should be fixed?
