Description
If a user makes a search that has no results, it might be nice to give the user some suggestions on how to widen the scope of their search. This could be handled in many ways, either with some simple text or with some actual controls that are contextual to the user's search. Some examples of what types of suggestions I'm thinking of are:
- Try enabling other media types
- Enable more licenses
- Try other providers
This is not a high-priority concern at all.
