On the search page, if you search for a club or event that doesn't exist, you see nothing:

To ensure users don't get confused, consider having an error message like "No club or project matches this description" if nothing is found.

This is modeled after the Twitter Typeahead system (https://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/), which is the most-current standard in instant search boxes. Following the style of this standard, I will opt to keep without an error message (it would be too confusing to see an error message when typing, which is the only option since it is an instant-search typeahead).

Will reopen issue if receiving negative UI feedback from users.
