Description
Thank you very much for adding a Search field to the Constellation Documentation help. This makes it handy for me to search for functionality to find out more information. One thing that I have noticed, is that if I put in a term and there is no result, there is no message shown.
As a result, I was not sure if the help was working or not, or if I needed to click on the magnifying glass to perform the search. It would be great if there were no matching terms if there was a message to indicate this.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Constellation help. You can do this from any of the views and clicking on help, or by going to Help > Help pages
- Observe the Search Help Documentation
- Put in a search term where there will be no results. In my case I searched for Spell Check
- I didn't get any results back (but there was no indication to say there were no results)
Behaviour
Expected behaviour: There is a message showing there are No results, or sorry we can't find a matching item
Actual behaviour: a little bit of confusion here
Reproduces how often: 100%
Additional Information
I have done some searches on a couple of popular coding websites as a comparison:
