What I've done in the past is
1) set the page as the results page via mv_nextpage,
2) segregate the page into match and no-match sections via [if
mv_search_match_count],
3) use the above code in the no-match section
4) echo the search results via [search-region], [searh-list], [item-field
...] tags in the match area.
