Question
Articles and tutorials search not working for no results.

When I enter a search in “articles and tutorials”, I get a spinner for a fraction of a second, and then nothing for searches like “reboot”, “console” etc.
I can see that the server is returning {“results”:[],“search”:“console”} but this isn’t really helpful, as I thought search was just broken at first. It would help if “no results” showed “no results” so at least end users would know that search had run.

An empty array of results usually means there was nothing found. ;)
Yes, my point was (as per my original post) that it would help if “no results” showed “no results” so at least end users would know that search had run.
Oh, we don’t have any articles containing the word ‘reboot’. The search box is only for articles and doesn’t search questions. <br> <br>You can find a list of all articles here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/community_tags/all-articles
