[Bug 681476] Re: Better feedback for searches without any results

[Gary Lasker]

Hi Robert, thank you very much for your branch. This is really nice
work! I've merged it to trunk now. I've also attached this bug to the
Software Center UI Enhancements blueprint as your fix is a very nice
improvement indeed.

Thanks again!

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.
