shadcn.io is an independent project built on shadcn/ui
Apple, Banana, Cherry, Date, and Elderberry are the list. A search that matches none of them shows a search icon, No results, and Try a different search term.
Use it when people often type something that is not there, and they need a next step. A one-line miss is the plain empty state of a Combobox. In Solid, Ark UI only knows the search missed.

What does the no-results block show?
A SearchIcon at size-8 in text-muted-foreground, No results in font-medium, and Try a different search term in muted text-xs, centered in a column.
When does it show?
Only when the search leaves nothing to show.
It's the content of ComboboxEmpty, which renders only then.
Which fruits are listed?
Apple, Banana, Cherry, Date and Elderberry. The search box says Search fruits....
How do I pick a fruit?
Type to narrow the list, then click a fruit or move to it with the arrow keys and press Enter. The button then shows it in place of Select fruit....
Can the message offer an action?
Yes, any content fits. Add a button that clears the search or creates the missing item, as in Empty State with Action.
