It's very common that you load up nuget packages to install something and you are in the Installed Packages or Updates item on the left, so entering something like 'toastr' will end up telling you :
No items found. You had to change back to online and type it again.
At first leaving the filter box with it's text sounds convenient but you end up having 'a new problem' when switching labels.
So I propose as an easy and really good UX solution.
Show the 'problem' as you already are doing it and add a possible solution:
When you search something on installed or updates labels, at the end of the list:
Better if you make it only on the last page. you if you are Lazy enough just do it on empty results.
if (results.Any())
Not what you are looking for?
else
No items found.
[Search online instead for 'toastr'](#)
and that click do the search online for that particular keyword.
Implementation time: 0.2 efforts :D
Clients automagically happy 100,000+ :D
Hopes get voted fast :D
