Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the search-results view and the path that renders an empty list; confirm how the application links to GitHub. Done means an empty search gives useful feedback and provides a link for requesting an icon.

Description

Needs Design
Problem

Currently there's just a blank list when no search results are found, which isn't super helpful

Proposal

It would probably be a nice feedback loop to link back to github to request an icon if nothing is found. That way we can either know which icons are in demand or fix search to show the correct icon
