In an HTTP search API returning JSON, how do you indicate that there were no hits?

1) Return an error.
2) Return an empty list of hits.

I really hate NetworkManager. Today, I learned about "ipv4.never-default", without which it automatically adds a default route for each interface it knows about, including a statically configured bridge only connected to virtual machines that explicitly has no routes configured.

What kind of horrible misconceptions of how networks function made the developers think that was a good idea?
