Different search criteria message for each Multi-Store?

Hi all,

I have three multi-stores running, and each store has products with unique codes attributed to them. However, I am finding that visitors to the stores, when entering a code which they know to be correct, are getting confused when they are presented with the standard search criteria message - "There is no product that matches the search criteria".

This is down to the fact they may be searching the wrong store which doesn't contain that particular product code. Is there any way I can create a custom search criteria message for each of the three stores, so that it makes more sense and lets the visitor know the error of their ways, and thus enable me to add a url link to one of the other two stores which the code will be on?

To cut a long story short, it was important that certain items could not appear next to each other in search results, so they are effectively hidden from each other by being in different stores.

Thanks in advance.

Well I got this sorted in the end. I just searched for the content:
<div class="content"><?php echo $text_empty; ?>

which appears on the search.tpl file within catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/

and added my message after the ?>

However, it would be great if somehow I could take whatever the search term the visitor typed into the search box, and add it to the url's I have added directing the visitor to the correct store. Is this feasible?
