Show better error message for search errors.

If Atlas cannot get a response from Onionoo, it's not always the user's fault. This fix changes the error message to make that clear. Hopefully, this will result in less bug reports when Onionoo is offline.

+        probably means that the backend server is unavailable right now. This
