Formerly titled: "Article does not exist" css tweaks
**Problem**
- The current “Article does not exist” message on special:search reinforces the misconception that wikipedia search is only about finding articles. Given its prime position, it sets a tone of failure right away and discourages users from exploring the results where the relevant information could be found within various articles. This was observed in the user interviews.
- The current message takes up quit a bit of space at the top (with some communities having much longer messages) and pushes the content down.
- Casual readers are unlikely to respond to the second half of the message about “creating an article” due to their lack of experience with editing.
- We do not have enough data to know if editors use “creating an article” link as frequently and so the suggestion is to not remove it entirely but to rethink the placement.

**User story**
When I am scanning the results on the Special:Search page …
… I want to be able to discover relevant information,
… so that I do not overlook information that might be hiding within an article and could directly navigate to it.
**Proposed Design**

See the detailed specs in [[ https://www.figma.com/file/86M7oLZplSxXKwKJR59mIK/Special%3ASearch-on-Wikipedia?node-id=1217%3A13009 | Figma ]]
**Notes on updated design**
[ ] The message has been moved to the top of the right column as seen in the design above
[ ] The title + icon has been added for more clarity and anchoring of the message.
[ ] Only the actual search query (missing article title) will be in red. The rest of the links should be in blue.
[ ] This change of moving the "article not found" message is only applicable in cases where 1+ results were returned. For zero results the message will stay in its current location. See this [[ https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVOy2VTLg=/ | flowchart ]] by search team to understand the use case.
**Note that this message is currently only for desktop and it is presently not available on mobile web.**
