You must adapt the code for this.

tt_products/view/class.tx_ttproducts_list_view.php:

function &printView( ...
...
if ($theCode != 'SEARCH' || ($theCode == 'SEARCH' && $sword))	{
...
}
if ($out)	{
...
} elseif ($sword && $allowedItems!='0' && $theCode=='SEARCH')	{
...
} else {
// *** new code for the case where no products are listed ***
       $content = 'no products are listed';
}


return $conten

}
