@Sneha - all looks according to the specs (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/803968/7/resources/src/mediawiki.special.search.styles.less)

.mw-body .mw-search-nonefound {

	font-size: 1.2em;

QA Notes:

it seems that mobile does not display any additional messages (e.g. "The page [title] doesn't exist. You can ask for it to be created [...}") along with "There were no results matching the query."
since the message (and any additional messages) vary significantly from wiki to wiki, the order of messages should be checked in production.

@Etonkovidova This looks good to me. The additional message is not supposed to be on mobile so its all good. We can consider it done.

Thanks, @Sneha! Checked on arwiki, enwiki, and ruwiki - all looks as expected.

@Etonkovidova Hey Elena looks like I got confused earlier when I said that the "The additional message is not supposed to be on mobile." It is not there on mobile when the results are found which is expected but this story is about when no results are found and hence that additional message should be there. Sorry for getting confused earlier. Since this story is now closed should I create a new one for this? @CBogen

However, adding that message is not directly helping our search goals right now in helping users find information. It was a nice to have in encouraging users to edit when nothing is found (which may eventually help users find the right info) . So I am okay if we did it in later milestones.

@Sneha Given our timelines, it would be great if you could create a new story for it and then I'll put it right in the backlog instead of in Current Work to consider at a later time.

Okay I will do that. Thanks.
