Reducing the number of shown errors, and reformulating the error messages
(e.g. KnuteTerm message could be more helpful)
Error messages:
“This concept is a “KnuteTerm”, so there should not be any search results.”
Suggestion: Reformulate to show what a user has to do. “This concept groups a number of subconcepts. Choose a subconcept in the left panel to continue"
“Note: Search for subject strings is currently experimental, and might not yet work as expected.”
Suggestion: Perhaps remove this message?
After clicking a keyword which is not in the current vocabulary (broad search): “Beklager, emnet «Amsterdam (Nederland)» ble ikke funnet i dette vokabularet.” / “Sorry, the subject «Amsterdam (Nederland)» was not found in the current vocabulary.”
Suggestion: Perhaps do not make concepts that are not in the same vocabulary clickable, at least in "simple mode"
“Det oppsto en ukjent feil.”
Suggestion: reformulate.
“How odd! Not a single document on that subject could be found using the current subject vocabulary. You could try expanding the search to a broad search.”
Suggestion: reformulate: "No documents could be found in the current subject vocabulary. You could try expanding your search to a broad search.”

Based on J. Nielsen, Usability Heuristic: "Error prevention" - "Even better than good error messages is a careful design which prevents a problem from occurring in the first place. Either eliminate error-prone conditions or check for them and present users with a confirmation option before they commit to the action."
Add a new error route under the vocabulary route, so that an error condition do not cause the user to get kicked out of the currently selected vocabulary.
And omprove the error message shown when a user comes across a concept which does not exists.
