Marking this as a Wishlist item. For non-admin users, there's a list of
allowed search options on the nova api side. If a user specifies one not
in the allowed list, that option gets discarded and instead all
instances in their tenant are returned.

This is a request for a change in behavior where the api somehow
notifies the user if they specify any search options that won't be
honored.

** Also affects: nova
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- nova.server.list() returns bad data
+ list servers should notify user when invalid search options are passed

** Changed in: nova
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist

** Changed in: nova
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Changed in: python-novaclient
       Status: New => Invalid

** Tags added: api

Title:
  list servers should notify user when invalid search options are passed

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Confirmed
Status in Python client library for Nova:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Given a bank of instances:
  =====================

  ID | Server
  8cf19a86-c523-4155-9bce-f78837be8c7d | test1.example.com
  b15ef5bf-35c0-4c83-acd9-f8129fcc364b | test2.example.com
  e0787cd2-5781-4007-b42f-ebee6a0bf1ec | test3.example.com

  The following (simplified) code:
  =========================

  from novaclient.client import Client 
  ...
  nova = Client(2, session=sess)
  ...
  # intentionally take the first item returned in list
  server = nova.servers.list(detailed=True, search_opts={'id': 'FAKE-UUID'})[0]

  Expected:
  ========
  server.id = null  (because no server would be returned)

  Actual:
  ======
  server.id = '8cf19a86-c523-4155-9bce-f78837be8c7d'

  I am not sure if it is returning the next closest serer, the last
  server built, etc. All I know is I am not getting back the server I
  would have expected back.
