Search results popover widget should show an explanatory placeholder text when there are no matching results
When no matches are found, it currently displays this sad and silly empty widget:
Instead, it should at least show a placeholder text, and ideally hint as to why no results were found. It could be the use of search terms that are too restrictive, or maybe the event is out of the search range (see the range_start
and range_end
variables in gcal-search-engine.c
). For example, maybe a label that says:
No events found between
range_start_date
andrange_end_date
containing the "%s
" string in their summary.
I realize this string is maybe a bit technical but it reflects the current limitations of the backend, and it's better than nothing (or unexplained limitations) until #1169 is solved and until maybe a complicated search query UI exists someday as part of #1171. @snwh & @PhilippSauberz you may have thoughts on this.
