## Best for

A zero match search with 3 pill suggestion chips and a grouped pair of browse and refine buttons

## Agent notes

- `SearchSuggestions` hardcodes 3 query chips with no handler; fill them from your recent or popular searches
- Browse library and Refine filters in the `ButtonGroup` have no handler, and `EmptyTitle` never echoes the query that found nothing
- `SearchEmptyIllustration` also takes a `compact` variant, 80px by 44px, that `EmptyState` never passes

## When not to use

- A blank records area awaiting a live connection or a CSV import: use [Data Import Start](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/empty-state/empty-state-1.md) (`get_block("empty-state-1")`)
- An activity export view with filter menus and nothing exportable yet: use [Export Filters](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/empty-state/empty-state-12.md) (`get_block("empty-state-12")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/empty-state-2
```

## About Empty State blocks

### When to use

- A first run screen for records, projects, reports or a library that holds nothing yet
- A search with zero matches or an export page that has nothing to download yet
- A setup prompt to invite the team, enable a feature or connect file storage

### When not to use

- A compact no data message placed inside a table, list or panel you already have: use [Empty](https://web.dev.reui.io/components/empty.md) (`get_component("empty")`)
- Only the layered isometric illustration, with no title, copy or actions: use [Icon Stack](https://web.dev.reui.io/components/icon-stack.md) (`get_component("icon-stack")`)
- A populated tile that shows stats, a profile, links or an integration: use the [Card blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card.md)

### Agent notes

- `EmptyState` takes no props in every block, so its copy, media and actions are fixed in the block files; add props to reuse it
- Every page.tsx centers `EmptyState` in a `min-h-svh` wrapper with padding; drop that wrapper inside your own layout
- No action is wired: buttons have no `onClick` or only fire a sonner `toast`, and every `href` is a hash anchor
