You can try the following experiment to display an informative message
if the initial query produces no results.

Try the experimental function provided here:

  http://pastesite.com/16009

Copy that function into this code sample:

  http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#queries

Call the experimental function before calling the NewsShow
constructor.  The experimental function requires one argument: your
NewsShow options object.

  ...
  showMessageIfNoResults(options);
  var newsShow = new google.elements.NewsShow(content, options);
  ...

After a 1-second timeout, an informative message should appear if the
initial query has produced no results.  (This use of a timer is not
ideal.  A better event-driven solution should be possible, but may
require additional implementation workarounds for some browsers.)
