Description

It should be clear to the user in which state the search is, after he opens the search.
Basically tell the following:

When no Searchterm was entered: Display "Enter your searchterm"
After Searchterm was entered before results are showing: Display "Searching" or loadingcircle
Results are not empy: results (yay!)
Results are emtpy: Display "There are no results for your search"
On Error: Display "There was an error"
