Searching while offline says no results found

DESCRIPTION:

Searching while offline say no results found and that the user should try another term. If the user is not aware they are offline, they may be led to believe that the item they searched for doesn't exist when it does, or that LBRY's search algorithms are poor.

REPRO STEPS:

1. Install and Launch LBRY 0.16.0 on Android 8.1.0
2. Go offline
3. Search for something that definitely exists

Results: User is told no results

Expected: User is told they are offline

ENVIRONMENT:

• LG V20
• Android 8.1.0
• LBRY 0.16.0

Reproduce the search flow on Android 8.1.0 while offline, then trace how the search failure is turned into the no-results message. The change is done when offline searches tell the user they are offline instead, the project builds, and unit tests cover the behavior.
