Better "no results" information on multisearch page

Title:
Better "no results" information on multisearch page

Area:
site search, context for the short-attention-spanned

Summary:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/multisearch should echo your search term and the area you searched in when telling you it found nothing.

Description:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/multisearch is singularly unhelpful when it doesn't find what you were looking for. Currently, an unsuccessful search tells you: "No Match: Sorry: There were no results for the criteria you specified." So you have to remember that you were searching for, say, a particular email address as someone's email address. This is marginally all right when you've just entered it and you typed it correctly and picked the right sort of search, and you remember what you typed, and the page loads promptly. But if you pick the wrong category, typo the whatever, the page is slow, your computer is slow, your brain is not tracking properly, you go on to a new tab and come back later, it's a completely confusing result.
