#1633 Visual confirmation that dictionary was searched
When a user uses the option Edit > Search Dictionaries, it would be nice to have a visual confirmation that the function was actually performed, even if there are no results. I suggest that when a user uses this menu item, and there are no search results, the text "No results found" should appear in the Dictionary pane. If there are no dictionaries in the project, the text "No dictionaries found" should appear in the Dictionary pane. This applies only to when Edit > Search Dictionaries is used.
Enhancement proposed.
https://github.com/omegat-org/omegat/pull/284
A proposal put notification when no hit found when user configured. When there is no dictionary, nothing happened.
It seems better to show message on status bar not on content pane.
It would be nice to have a visual effect, such as loading circle animation, on vldocking panes when it working something, and stop effect when process is done.
@leuce Does this change help you?

The video is 7 seconds long and doesn't show what happens when a
dictionary search returns no results when there were no results to begin
with.

Because configuration is no automatically to search dictionary, so no action.
MT is configured search automatically, we see action. We can check both at once at video.

I think you're confusing my RFE with someone else's. My RFE has nothing
to do with MT and is not related to automatic searching. My RFE is for
a message to appear when no results were found after a dictionary was
searched.
