Bug Description

Follow-on from bug 419531: while clicking through the page numbers in the project vocabulary search dialog, I get a "Loading results failed." message. Perhaps from a query timeout? It's intermittently reproducible. It's understandable that sometimes the request fails (or at least we don't need another bug about it) but this seems less understandable than a regular oops. Maybe it would be better if there was a 'try again' button.

I think we should address this in the next two weeks as a part of the disclosure picker work.

We never want to see "loading results failed" in the UI. That message does not help users. How does a user address the failure? Will searching again work? Is there an oops/timeout Id that can be provided to explain the issue?
