Description

https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/issues/780

I know that I can specify an empty template for each dataset, but I have 6 or 7 datasets and I would like to specify something to be displayed when none of the datasets have hits.

If I just type in "4q8nywrfxm", I don't want to see 6 datasets all saying that they can't find that text, I just want one message, specified at the typeahead level (not the dataset level).

Does that make sense?

I copied this over from the old repo which I was using until I realized it's no longer maintained. Sorry if this is a dup or if it was already fixed but I couldn't find that it was.

Research direction
Investigate the current template system in typeahead.js, particularly how each dataset handles empty results. Look at the `src/typeahead.js` file to understand the rendering flow and where dataset level templates are applied. Consider adding a new configuration option at the typeahead level to display a single 'no results' message when all datasets return empty. Check if there are any existing comments or prior attempts in the issue thread.
