Provide a more specific warning when RC page (and Watchlist?) fails to load
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When the page fails to load, as when the connection drops but for any reason, the current message displayed says misleadingly that no results could be found. A more specific message will be helpful to users.

The new message should read:

Due to a technical error, no results could be loaded. Please try refreshing the page.
