  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When searching in Dolphin and no items have been found, Dolphin uses the status
bar to communicate the information. While there is a message that communicates
the result to the user, this message could be lost given that it happens away
from the central view the user is at during search.

I suggest using a more prominent message in the search results pane that says
"No items found". We follow this idea in other places in Plasma. It would do
well in Dolphin as well. It would allow the user to understand quickly that the
search operation stopped and no items were found in a location were the user's
eyes are already placed.
