Hello Patrick! 

Yes it is confusing, but it would be worse, if one lost
results of previous searches (I often use them later).
By the way there is a toggle multiple results on the top
right corner. Try it !
I think a red (or other high colour) 'Not found' title 
would be better.
Optionally jEdit can beep or show a warning dialog 
when hypersearch not found anything.
Another good feature would be a to have a right click popup menuitem
repeat search(or refresh), which searches again for the same string
with the same settings.
