Description
I'm trying to do a search like:
```python
from jmespath import search
data = {
"grid": [
{"col1": "a", "col2": None},
{"col1": "b", "col2": None},
{"col1": "c", "col2": "x"},
{"col1": "d", "col2": "y"},
]
}
col1_data = search("grid[*].col1", data) # gets ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
col2_data = search("grid[*].col2", data) # gets ["x", "y"], expecting [None, None, "x", "y"]
```
If the `col2` element did not exist, I think the current behavior makes sense. However, I think that `search` by default shouldn't also do filtering.

Thoughts ?
