[search] Show "No matching results" if that's the case (2.19 KB, patch)

Description drago01 2010-01-06 14:44:42 UTC 
When searching for an app a corrected typo results into no results displayed.

Example:

User searches for "Firefox" but types "Fireg", so he presses backspace to correct it.

In this case it shows the number of Apps and Preferences but the actual results aren't displayed (i.e invisible).

The search has to be restarted to show correct results.

This also fixes backtracking from no matching results.

Looks good to me, and fixes the problem (also showing "No matching results." is way better than just an empty area).
