Updated selector so that:

if there's an ongoing lookup search: show search results,
if there's an ongoing lookup search and nothing was found: show 'No results found'
if there's no ongoing search, but the user clicks the field: show selected item
if there's no ongoing search, but the user clicks an empty field: show suggestions
