Help users stuck in empty category searches

If the user is browsing a category, Discover limits any search results to only things that match within that category. But if the user does not realize they are in a category, and they search for something they know to exist, but it lives in another category, Discover will currently find nothing and look stupid, and the user will be frustrated.

To alleviate this, let's change the message shown when nothing is found for a category search. Instead of saying, "we couldn't find it in the available sources" (which is false anyway), Discover will now say that it simply couldn't find it in the current category, and will show a button to let the user search globally. Here's how it looks:
