Discussion: Expected behavior when publishing and searching * topics

[leggetter]

When an event is published with a topic of *, the current functionality is that an event is published with the topic value *. However, should the functionality be that Outpost instead generates an event for each registered topic? If so, what is the functionality when no topics have been registered?

If it should be published as *, how should search functionality behave? If someone wants to see all user.created events, should they also have events with a topic of * returned in the search?
