This isn't possible. However, if you had looked at my Frontend code...

You can quite easily stop all rules using this:
$form-> _rules = array();
$form-> _formRules = array();
$form-> _required = array();

Granted, this is technically editing private vars, but oh well.

You can also stop the required rules by removing the NOT NULL bit from
the types.

class My_DO extends DB_DataObject {
  //....
  var $_searchForm = false;
  function table() {
    $table = parent::table();
    if ($this-> _searchForm) {
      foreach (array_keys($table) as $key) {
        $table[$key] = $table[$key]
                              & ~DB_DATAOBJECT_NOTNULL;
      }
    }
    return $table;
  }
}
