skip to first non-empty search tab? #583

Closed thvitt closed 3 years ago

When we’re on the text tab and there are no text matches, but rather matches in, e.g., the metadata field, we could automatically switch to that tab to spare the user an extra click (and possible confusion by the 'empty' search results).

I am thinking of queries like Urfaust or typical metadata queries (secondary sigils etc.).

Might be an alternative to #582. But might also be mildly confusing or not what the user wants.
