Title:
  Better feedback for searches without any results

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  On first-use the Software Centre may offer some Recommendations.  If
  the user follows this and installs (or even views) one of the
  Recommendations, and then searches in the top-right-hand box then the
  user will only see matching results from within Recommendations (zero
  results).

  Ideally the interface would provide results from within the full-set
  if there are no matches within the subset; or otherwise inform the
  user that they are stuck in a sub-category and are unlikely to be
  getting the results expected or intended.
