This is something we planned to improve the visual experience in any
case. It's the shell plugin that holds the model, so it would have to
not clear it until new results arrive. We would also show a "query
failed" banner or something, similar to the one we planned for no
internet connection at all.

Bug description:
  (Not sure if this is the best package/project to cover this bug, feel
  free to change it)

  current build number: 224
  device name: krillin
  channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
  last update: 2015-01-29 18:53:09
  version version: 224
  version ubuntu: 20150129
  version device: 20150129-c75dcfb
  version custom: 20150129-528-26-182

  The scopes content disappears completely when you try to refresh it
  when using a poor internet connection, because it blanks the previous
  content without giving any new ones (until you get a proper connection
  again).

  This produces a really bad user experience because the user ends up
  with a set of blank scopes, without any content (while the previous
  data could be useful in some way).

  As a user I'd expect the data to be dynamically updated (visually at
  least) as you get them, with a proper notification for the user.
