Description

Please describe the bug below
When for whatever reason either there is no Internet connection or the server doesn't respond in time, users just get plain error messages ("java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host" / "oq5: Request timeout has expired").
This seems reasonable for truly unforeseen errors, but connectivity issues are fairly common and deserve graceful error handling, maybe even a more tailored error message. Users should get a Retry button as a quick way to recover instead of having to go back and retrace your steps or re-open the app etc.
Additional information
v3.9.1 - reproduce by entering airplane mode before e.g. searching for something in the app
